Reading

The pony runs away. Once there was a white pony that lived on a farm. His hair was so white and smooth that he was called White Satin. Every day White Stain 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, Pat’s father came home with a big blue car and put it 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 should run away.

After supper, white Satin got out of the barn without making any noise. No one heard him as he ran out to the road and went galloping away. By and by White satin wanted a drink,. He saw a pony near the road and jumped into it with all four feet. Many frogs lived in the pond. When they heard the big splash and saw White Satin, they began to make a great noise.

Better get out, said the grandfather frogs in their big gruff voices. Too Depp, too deep, said father frogs in their deep deep voices. Leap leap leap, said the little, eww frogs in their little high voices. White Satin tried to jump out, but he could not. His four feet were stuck in the soft mud. He tried and tried to get out, but the mud pulled him in deeper and deeper. Never get out, said the grandfather frog.

Going deeper, going deeper, said the Father frogs. Too late too deep, said the little young frogs. White Satin began to think the frogs were right. He was stuck fast in the mud. He was so frightened that he cried out for help as loud as he could. A farmer’s dog heard White Satin, he heard the frogs too and began to bark. Such a noise as they all made!
