    A list of main events for each season might look like this:

    Spring:  Slewfoot kills the sow, Julia is hurt in the hunt for Slewfoot, Penny and Jody visit the Forresters to trade for a gun, Oliver comes back from the sea, Jody risks his friendship with Fodder Wing by helping Oliver in a fight

    Summer:  Penny and Jody hunt for their hogs, Penny is snakebit, Penny kills a doe to use her liver to draw out the poison, Jody finds a fawn, Fodder Wing dies

    Autumn:  The big rainstorm strikes, settlers try to salvage their crops, plague hits the wildlife, Slewfoot kills a hog, Flag begins to be destructive

    Winter:  Penny kills Slewfoot, the Baxters cannot keep Flag from destroying their crops, Jody kills Flag, Jody runs away, Jody returns home with newfound maturity
