12 Black BeautyI didn%u2019t like having something in my mouth. I remembered my mom always wore a bit when she worked, so I didn%u2019t want to move when they tried to put it in my mouth. I also didn%u2019t like the saddle on my back, but I needed a saddle for people to ride me. Every day, they put the bit in my mouth and the saddle on my back, and then Farmer Grey walked with me around a big field. After our walks, the farmer fed me with delicious food and talked kindly to me.%u201cYou%u2019re doing really well, my friend. You%u2019re strong and clever, and I%u2019m proud of you for being so brave with the bit and the saddle.%u201dI realized Farmer Grey was a nice person and wasn%u2019t scared of the bit or the saddle anymore.One day, Farmer Grey climbed on my back and rode me around the field. It wasn%u2019t good for me at first, but I was glad to have a kind farmer. Then, something new happened: A man put shoes on my feet.%u201cLet%u2019s get these shoes on your feet. It might feel a bit strange, but these shoes will keep your feet safe and comfortable.%u201dAt first, I didn%u2019t like the shoes, but later on, I started to enjoy them because they protected my feet from the hard stones and rough roads.It wasn%u2019t just that. The next was the carriage harness. There was a very small saddle but there was a big collar. Farmer Grey put the harness on me and wanted me to pull a carriage with my mother. First, it wasn%u2019t easy for me, but my mother taught me how to pull a carriage.%u201cMy dear, when you wear the harness, remember to listen to Farmer Grey. It might seem difficult at first, but you%u2019ll get used to it. Take slow steps and always stay steady. You%u2019ll learn to pull the carriage. Don%u2019t rush, and be patient. Do your best,%u201d advised my mother.saddlebe proud ofroughcollarrushsteadypatienta leather seat for a rider on a horsefeeling very pleased about something you have done, something you own, or someone you knownot smootha band of leather or plastic put around the neck of an animal to move or to do something with great speednot changing and not interruptedaccept annoying behaviour or difficulties without becoming angry:::::::Glossary
