My husband and I travel a lot.We had a horse,a wonderful horse called Dusty.We were out of town when a one-hundred-mile horse race went right past the road in front of my house.My horse decided that she wanted to compete in the race.So she jumped over the fence and left quickly.
The next day my husband and I came home.We found a note on the front door from the police.It said that my horse had gone back to the barn(牲口棚)on the other side of town.She had been born there eighteen years before.So we drove there.It was a lovely old farm.It was owned now by people I didn't know.The new owners were a man,his wife,and their children,two little girls aged seven and five.We saw Dusty was in the barn.When the little girls had gotten up that morning,they had started screaming,their father said.That was because at the top of the hill,with the sun rising,was this beautiful horse.They attracted her to the barn.They spent the day brushing her and treating her a lot.
The seven-year-old girl turned to me.She said, "Can I ride her before you take her back?" I said yes.And then I went to a local grocery store and bought a bottle of apple juice.When I returned,they told me they had always wished for a horse.But their parents really didn't have the money for one.
I told them I was going to give them Dusty.And I wanted them to make a vow.Someday when they were grown up,they each would find a little girl-a little girl they didn't know - and give her some very special gift that she had always wanted.
