minute

that's a poem the rumored is the best

weapon man there is

mom have you seen lassie

no but well i was fixing her supper and

i got it fixed now i can't find her well

come to recollect i i don't think i've

seen him herself all day did you look in

the barn

she wouldn't be in the barn

why not

she just wouldn't

well you better go look anyway and put

and put on a jacket honey it's cold

outside okay

you know i'll bet that's the first time

you thought of that dog since she got

the cold

i see

lassie

lassie

it's all right domino

[Music]

josh where do you think she could be

mama

i don't know doc

she's never gone away before

maybe she never had a reason to before

sit down

do you remember when we first got lassie

and gramps told us that the lord makes

animals just the same as he does human

beings

well animals have feelings too

well i don't know what you mean mom

well

i'm not sure darling but i

i think you've heard lassie's feelings

you've neglected her ever since you got

the cold twice you've forgotten to feed

her and

something must have happened in the barn

because you were so sure that she

wouldn't be there

well unless he frightened domino and i

told her to get out and never to come in

the barn again

[Applause]

how would you feel

if i told you to get out of the house

and never come back again

well i think that you didn't love me

anymore

oh no leslie doesn't think that does she

mom

i'm afraid so darling

well couldn't she have gone down to the

curry farm or down to the lake for a

drink she sometimes goes down there

without me

maybe she

did you better get some sleep darling

and

i'm sure she'll be back in the morning

okay come on

gosh i feel awful

[Music]

having trouble getting sleep son

[Music]

now you mustn't blame yourself too much

for less he's running away

you made a mistake but

making mistakes is a part of growing up

if it's a very necessary part

but what if she doesn't come back ever

well now it it doesn't help to suppose

an unhappy thing

why don't you just suppose that you'll

be here in the morning

i guess i'm not very good at supposing

things i don't really believe

try to get some sleep

keep covered up because it's cold

outside
