Summary: Jody is very curious about the mountains and asks his father various questions about what is in the mountains and what comes after them and does anyone life there. He then goes off wandering and finds a perfect rock for his sling shot and shoots a bird in the head and kills it. Later as he is by the road he sees a man coming towards the house and the man says his name is Gitano and he has come back. He says his father and he were born there and he will stay until he dies. Jody's father says no but he can stay the night and leave in the morning. When morning comes, Ganito is gone and so is the farms oldest horse. A neighbor says that she saw an old man on a horse go away towards the mountains.
Response: This was an interesting chapter because the old man wanted to die where he was born. I think I would have had the same response to the old man as Jody's father did. I wouldn't even have trusted Ganito for one night because they had no clue what his background was.
