However, we soon liked Little Joe Green because he was a cheerful boy who sang when he worked.%u201dOne night, I woke up because the stable bell was ringing loudly. John came to get me ready to ride. The master gave him a letter and told him to ride as fast as he could to get the doctor for Mrs. Gordon. She was very sick.We galloped swiftly through different places, and I ran really fast. We reached the doctor, and John explained the urgency of the situation. The doctor then rode on me, and I did my best, even though I became really tired.When we got back, Little Joe Green took me the stable. I was happy and proud of myself, but I was too hot. He brought me some cold water. I drank it.%u201cGood night, Beauty! Have a good rest,%u201d said Joe and he went away. Soon I felt cold and sick. John was very angry with Little Joe Green because he didn%u2019t put a cloth on me and gave me cold water. John took care of me day and night for a week. Joe thought he was responsible for my illness so, he felt guilty.A few weeks later, some news changed everything. Our mistress was often sick, so the doctor suggested she should live in a warm place for a while. Everyone felt sad, but the master quickly started planning to leave England.John worked quietly and sadly, while Joe stopped singing. We found out that the master sold Ginger and me to his old friend, Lord Gray. Merrylegs went to the neighbour, Mr. Blomefield, and Joe took care of him. John had offers for good jobs, but he wanted to wait and see. %u201cI want to teach young horses,%u201d John said to the master.%u201cI can%u2019t think of anyone better for that job than you, John,%u201d said the master. %u201cIf you need any help, write to me.%u201d
