"Spoil the Child" by Howard Fast tells the story of a young boy named David who travels
across the prairie in a wagon with his father, mother and sister. One morning David's father
decides to go hunting however he does not return home. The family realizes they're running
out of water, and starts to become restless. David decides to leave the wagon and search for
his father. He takes one of the mules with him along with his father's old rifle. He discovers
his father is murdered. When he returns home he doesn't tell his mother or sister that their
father has passed. As the night approaches he lies under the wagon and protects his family.
Suddenly, two Indians approached the wagon and they began to unharness the mules. One of
the Indians starts approaching the wagon and when he was sufficiently close to the wagon,
David's first instinct was to shoot him. Dave harnessed the mules and brought them back to
safety. In the morning they had arrived at a river, and the mother had given birth to a boy
during the night.
