Black Beauty by Anna Sewell Reveiwed by Olivia Nov. 2, 2011

Hi, My name is Beauty, Black Beauty. My first home was "The Meadow" where I was taken care by Farmer Grey and I lived with my mother. A wise old horse she was, she raised me well. When I grew older, I went off to a neighbor's farm. I was freightened by loud noises so, they put me near a set of train tracks. It helped me overcome my fears. Soon after I went to Squire Gordon's stables. There I met my Best horse friends, Merrylegs and Ginger. Once I saved some people from dying. You see, Mistress Gordon got very sick, so Ginger and I had to go to a new place called "Earlshall Park". It was nice there. Except the one night when Reuben Smith was a little drunk and galloped me about a mile without a shoe on and I collapsed. I got some very ugly scars on my knees. Ginger was raced once by Earl's son and she was EXHAUSTED! I mean she literally hurt her back and both lungs! These incidents caused us to go on sale at a horse fair. I was bought by a cab man. He was very nice in fact, he even let me have sundays off! Once when I was waiting for my break to be over, I saw a horse that looked almost exactly like Ginger. Yes, indeed, it was. Sadly, she was very thin. Bone thin. They were giving her very little food and rest. She wished she was dead. Shortly after, I saw a carridge carrying a dead horse that looked like Ginger. This is all I can remember at the time, but if you get a chance, read "Black Beauty" by Anna Sewell.
