a book report by Ben
In the family, there’s William and Esther McDonald. They have four kids: John, Beth, Coral and Benjamin. Ben was very small for his age and had a way with animals. He could imitate animals and could get very close to wild animals. Ben didn’t mean to run away; he just was following a prairie hen. The hen took him far out into the prairie because she was leading him away from the nest. That’s how Ben got lost. It began to rain so Ben took cover in a badger hole. When the badger came back, she adopted him because a litter of her cubs had just died. While he lived with the badger, the badger fed Ben prairie hens, frogs, and other stuff. Back at home, they sent out a search party but after two months of looking, there was still no sign. The McDonald family was starting to give up hope. Would they find him? You’ll have to read this book, which is based on a true story, by Allan W. Eckert.
