Black Beauty (1)

Black Beauty (1)

(1) My early home

The very first place that I can remember was a large plesant meadow.

To start with, I lived on my mother's milk.

As soon as I could eat grass however, she had to go out to work, and came home in the evening.



There were six young colts in the meadow biside me.
We had great fun galloping around although they would sometimes bite and kick.

One day, my mother whinnied to me to come to her.

Then she said, " The colts who live here are very good colts, but they are cart-house colts, and, of course, they have not learned manners."

" I hope you will grow up gentle and good and never learn bad ways. Do your work as well as you can, and never bite or kick, even just in play. "

My mother was a wise horse, and I have never forgotten her advice.

Her name was Duchess, but our master often called her Pet.
