Fred
Christina returns to the podcast to discuss this sometimes hilarious episode!
In “Fred,” Laura Ingalls trades 40 cents for a troublesome billy goat named Fred to save him from Mr. Parsons’ shotgun. The goat’s antics wreak havoc in Walnut Grove, from eating Charles’ rushes to headbutting Mrs. Oleson and getting drunk on Mr. Edwards’ moonshine. Charles, frustrated after a grueling job, demands Fred go, but Laura’s persistent optimism leads her to seek homes with Carl’s pa and Reverend Alden, all ending in comedic disaster. When Fred eats Phineas Jenks’ rushes, it forces Jenks to pay Charles $12, earning Fred a reprieve. Ultimately, Laura finds Fred with a herd of nanny goats, choosing to let him stay with his new family. This lighthearted episode, directed by Michael Landon, blends slapstick humor with lessons on responsibility and letting go, showcasing Laura’s growth and the Ingalls’ resilience amidst chaos.
