:17:02
That boy sure
is a running fool.
:17:08
Now, remember how I told you
:17:10
that Jenny never seemed
to want to go home?
:17:13
She lived in a house
that was as old as Alabama.
:17:16
Her mama had gone
to heaven when she was 5,
:17:19
and her daddy was
some kind of a farmer.
:17:23
Jenny ?
:17:24
He was a very loving man.
:17:27
He was always kissing
and touching her and her sisters.
:17:33
And then this one time,
:17:35
Jenny wasn't on the bus
to go to school.
:17:38
Jenny, why didn't you
come to school today ?
:17:40
Shh. Daddy's taking a nap.
:17:42
Jenny !
:17:44
Come on!
:17:46
Jenny, where'd you run to?
:17:49
You better
get back here, girl!
:17:53
Where you at?
:17:58
Jenny !
:18:00
Jenny, where you at?
:18:04
Jenny !
:18:05
Pray with me, Forrest.
:18:07
Pray with me.
:18:09
Jenny !
:18:10
Dear God, make me a bird
so I can fly far,
:18:13
far, far away from here .
:18:15
Dear God, make me a bird
so I can fly far.
:18:20
Mama always said
God is mysterious.
:18:23
Jenny !
:18:24
He didn 't turn Jenny
in to a bird that day.
:18:27
Instead,
:18:29
he had the police say
:18:31
Jenny didn't have to stay
in that house no more.
:18:34
She was to live
with her grandma,
:18:36
just over on Creek more Avenue,
:18:38
which made me happy,
'cause she was so close.
:18:43
Some nights,
:18:45
Jenny'd sneak out
:18:46
and come on over to my house,
:18:49
just'cause
she said she was scared.
:18:51
Scared of what,
I don 't know.
:18:54
But I think
it was her grandma's dog.
:18:57
He was a mean dog.
