Beginning In the beginning, Little Willy finds

that his grandfather won’t get out of bed or talk.

Little Willy gets Doc Smith so she can find out what is wrong with grandfather.

Doc Smith says that grandfather doesn’t want to live anymore.

Little Willy figures out that grandfather owes a lot of taxes.

Middle The problem is that Little Willy must

find a way to raise money so that they don’t lose the farm.

Little Willy tries to get a loan from the bank, but they won’t give it to him.

Little Willy doesn’t give up. He uses his college money to enter a dog sled race.

Stone Fox, an Indian, enters the race.

Middle Stone Fox always wins the races he is

in. Little Willy doesn’t care, and still

enters the race. Little Willy heard dogs barking and

found Stone Fox’s dogs in a barn. Stone Fox punches Little Willy in the

eye because he thought Little Willy was trying to hurt his dogs.

End The problem is solved
