Black Beauty (23) [Black Beauty]
A farmer friend of Mr Barry noticed this one day.
He looked me over more carefully.
Then he said to my master, " I don't know who gets the oats you pay for, but it certainly isn't your horse !
I suggest you look into what's happening in your stable.
Some scoundrels are mean enough to rob a dumb beast of his food. "
When Mr Barry took his advice, the police discovered that my oats were being fed to Mrs Filcher's rabbits !
Had I been able to speak, I could have told him that.
I had seen Filcher's little boy come every morning to collect the oats that his father stole.
Filcher went to prison for two months, and in a few days' time I had a new groom.
