![]() Aaron pokes a hole in the haystack to allow air to get into the makeshift shelter. ![]() ![]() He finds a pile of hay in a field and digs out a shelter for himself and the goat, which is protected from the weather and is warm enough for both to survive. Aaron gets lost as the snow covers his path and he quickly begins to look for shelter, with his life and Zlateh's now in severe danger. The conditions quickly grow worse and the boy and goat are trapped in a blizzard. While on the way, the weather suddenly takes a turn for the worse and Aaron and Zlateh are caught in a hail storm. ![]() On the way Zlateh suddenly wonders where Aaron is taking her when she passes new fields, pastures, and farms, but she soon tells herself that she is a goat that is not supposed to have any questions. ![]() Zlateh does not suspect anything about being taken into town, as she has been remarkably well taken care of and has come to trust her owners, but is surprised when the reluctant Aaron (having to "obey his father") begins steering her toward town. After some debating and despite the objections of Reuven's wife Leah and his two daughters Anna and Miriam, he decides that the money that will come from the sale of the goat is more important to the family's well-being and sends his son, Aaron, to bring Zlateh into town. The town's butcher Feivel has decided to offer to buy Zlateh from Reuven for eight gulden, where he will slaughter her and sell her meat. ![]()
