Reading

Once there was a white pony that lived on a farm. His hair was so white and smooth that he was called White Satin. Everyday White satin took Patty for a ride. Sometimes patty rode in the little red pony cart, and sometimes she rode on white satin’s back. One day Patty’s father came home with a big blue car and put in the barn. White Satin did not like cars, He was always afraid they would run into him and hurt him. He did not like to have the car standing near him in the barn. He shook his head and snapped his big white teeth. That day patty went to town with her father in the new car. White satin was very angry. They do not want me anymore. he said, “I shall run away” .
