Black beauty (32)

The next day , when the groom was cleaning my face, he said, " That is just like the star that Black Beauty had. "

He went on talking to himself.
" He was much the same height too, I wonder where he is now ? "

Then he noticed my white foot and began to look me over more carefully.

" White star on the forehead, one white foot on the off-side. "

Then looking at my back.
" And there is that little patch of white that we called 'Beauty's threepenny bit ' "

It must be Black Beauty !
Why, Beauty ! Beauty ! do you remember meーlittle Joe Green ?

And he began patting and patting me as if he was quite overjoyed.
