This question seems to be incomplete. However, there is enough information to find the right answer.

Answer:

Go back to see it

Step-by-step explanation:

In Where the Red Fern Grows (1961) by Wilson Rawls, Billy loses his two hunting dogs. Old Dan died defending the boy from a mountain lion. And Ann died soon after due to sadness. When Billy discovers that red fern has grown over their tombs, he thinks is a magical event, due to an old legend of that plant only growing if being planted by an angel. Being his last day in the Ozarks, Billy (as an adult in the narration) claims he always wanted to go back to that place, to see the tombs and the ref dern.
