Black Beauty

Hello! My name is Black Beauty. And I’m a horse. I have an interesting story to tell you. I want to tell you about my life.
My story starts with my mother, who taught me many things. And, when I close my eyes, I can still see all of my old friends standing together under the apple tree. Oh how I loved my first home! And then Earlshall, and then … but wait, I can’t tell you my story here.
Read it, and you will find out what happens to me.
