For a couple of weeks, with both Travis and Old Yeller hurting so bad they

groaned and whimpered all the time, Mama

• didn’t have time to look after Little Arliss and the farm

• took care of Travis, Little Arliss, and Old Yeller

• sent word to Salt Licks that she needed help

Both Mama and Travis knew they had been fooling themselves about Spot when they realized that the range bull

• had hydrophobia

• had been attacking the livestock

• had been eating poison pea vine

The scent of the dead bull's body attracted

• buzzards during the day, and raccoons and skunks at night

• wolves whose snarling and fighting kept Travis' family awake for two nights

• the attention of some of the closest neighbors, but they were too frightened to travel far from home.

Mama had Travis to shoot Spot in a place where

• the disease would not spread into their drinking water

• there was plenty of wood nearby to burn her

  body

• none of the other livestock would come into contact with her body

How many days and nights did it take to burn the bull?
