Old Yeller End of Book

Old Yeller's story took place in the late 1800s right after

• The Revolutionary War

• The Civil War

• The First World War

Travis and his family lived in

• Kansas

• Oklahoma

• Texas

Which of the following was NOT a reason for Old Yeller's name?

• His short hair was a dingy yellow.

• He would immediately start barking as soon as Little Arliss yelled for him.

• The sound he made was closer to being a yell than a bark.

Papa and other Salt Licks settlers left their families to take a herd of steers to market in Abilene, Kansas because

• the family needed cash money

• there was not enough good pasture around Birdsong Creek

• the price of beef was predicted to fall in a few months

While Papa was gone, Travis had the responsibility of

• being the man of the family

• seeing that the food stored for the family was kept safe

• helping Mama as much as he could with the farm work

When Papa left, Travis was

• twelve years old

• fourteen years old

• sixteen years old

Though Papa said he needed a dog, what Travis really wanted was

• to ride to Abilene with Papa

• a horse

• a team of fine mules and a wagon

When Old Yeller strayed up to the log cabin on Birdsong Creek,

• he made Travis so mad he wanted to kill the dog

• Papa tried for more than a week to run him off

• he chased the chicken and cattle

Bell, the dog that Travis had when he was younger,

• had been stolen by bandits

• died protecting Travis from a bear

• died after being bitten by a chopped off rattlesnake head

Old Yeller got to stay because

• Mama said Little Arliss needed a dog to keep him from being lonely

• Travis thought he would make a good hunting dog

• he barked at everything he saw, and the family needed to be warned of danger
