Grundy pays Jeremiah twenty-two dollars, but when Jeremiah and Hiram head home, Granny tells them that Danny has run off and Tildy got lost while looking for him. Grundy offers to pay Jeremiah for wild honey, and so Jeremiah and Tildy follow a bee into the treacherous swamp, where they eventually find a huge cache of honey. His determination renewed, Jeremiah works hard over the next few months, but earns only two dollars and fourteen cents. Discouraged, Jeremiah is about to give up when the Wise Old Owl encourages him to have some "stick-to-it-ivity," just like Christopher Columbus and Scottish king Robert the Bruce. Granny refuses, however, saying that the trip would cost too much money. Hiram builds a sturdy pen for Danny, then tries to help the children persuade Granny to allow them to take Danny to the fair. Fed up, Granny announces she is selling Danny in the morning, but again gives in when she finds Jeremiah asleep with Danny in the barn. Just then, Danny, who has been startled by a train whistle, rips through the new screen door, which Hiram has just installed. On the farm, Granny complains to Hiram that Jeremiah's devotion to Danny has made him disobedient, and that she will have to sell the lamb the next time he causes trouble. Hiram then tells Jeremiah about the sheep-judging contest at the Pike County Fair, and later, while Jeremiah and Tildy are playing, he tells her about the fair and she offers to help with Danny so that she can go along. At the store, Danny raises another ruckus and breaks through Grundy's screen door, but Jeremiah explains to Hiram that Danny was frightened by Grundy's mean son Fud. After Danny rips apart a screen door, Granny orders Jeremiah to keep him in the barn, but Danny's plaintive cries induce Jeremiah to put him on a leash and take him along to Pete Grundy's general store. As time passes, Danny matures but is still a rambunctious lamb, constantly in trouble. When Jeremiah pastes a picture of Danny into his scrapbook, he imagines that the "Wise Old Owl" emblem of the Farmers Trust and Savings comes to life and advises him to do the best with what he's got, as David did when he defeated Goliath. Naming the lamb Danny, Jeremiah tends to him and hopes to make him a champion so that he will be allowed to keep him. Granny tries to discourage Jeremiah's impractical daydreams, but allows him to keep a newborn, coal black lamb that is rejected by its mother.
Proudly wearing the old nail as a ring, Jeremiah tells Hiram and Granny that he wants a colt of his own to rear as a racehorse. Jeremiah watches in awe as the local blacksmith, "Uncle" Hiram Douglas, puts a new nail in one of the beautiful horse's shoes. One day, Jeremiah and his friend Tildy greet an arriving train that is carrying champion trotter Dan Patch. this film has character and love and family fun, as well as events needing understanding and work to overcome.In 1903, young orphan Jeremiah Kincaid lives with his pious, hard-working grandmother on their farm near Fulton Corners, Indiana. It is showing a simpler, yet more classic and lovely way of life for children, what so many children today are missing, who think that everything in life is instant.
#Mousterpiece so dear to my heart movie#
I highly recommend this movie to any grandparents or parents for their children. They will now have the fun of a clean, fun and happy experience, which is how movies for children USED to be made!!! Now that my son also has children, I wanted the video for his children, now 4+ and 2+, and I was delighted to find it on eBay. Then I loaned the other video to a friend for her little ones to watch and never received it back. In 1996 when I became a gramma, I gave one copy to my daughter for her little ones. In 1992 I purchased 2 of these at Wal-Mart, so one day I could share with my "hoped for" grandchildren. When I was just a little person, I saw this movie in a theater and fell in love with it.
