                                        6 Black Beauty%u201cLook, Mom!%u201d I said, %u201cThe sun is shining, and the grass looks so tasty. I want to run and play in the fields today!%u201dMy mom, Duchess, smiled and replied, %u201cOh, my dear, the fields are wonderful places to spend time with your friends. But remember to be safe, watch out for your friends, eat well and not bite or kick.%u201dAs I nibbled on the delicious grass, I asked my mother, %u201cMom, why are we so lucky to live on this beautiful farm?%u201dMy mother explained, %u201cWe are lucky because we have a great family who takes care of us, my dear. They treat us well.%u201dI had a happy childhood. I loved to play in the fields, and my mom was always nearby. As I grew, I learned new things. My mother started to work. When she came back from work, I always greeted and told her about my day and my new friends. We shared our stories and enjoyed our time together.%u201cI%u2019m so glad when you%u2019re happy. But it%u2019s important to know that you%u2019re special and not like the other young horses here. They%u2019ll become farm horses. They are also good horses, but we are different. When you grow up, you%u2019ll learn to carry people on your back or pull carriages for them,%u201d explained my mother.I wondered, %u201cIs that what you do, mother? Do you work for our master in that way?%u201d%u201cYes,%u201d replied my mother. %u201cHe sometimes rides me and other times, I pull his carriage. Remember to be happy when you work and don%u2019t bite or kick. Then people will be nice to you. My master is kind to me because I am kind to him, too. As I grew up, my coat became shiny. It was mostly black, but I had one white foot, a white star on my forehead and a small white spot on my back. When I became a big horse, Mr. Gordon came to see me.
