One day, when there was a good deal of kicking, my mother whinnied to me to come to her, and then she said: "I wish you to pay attention to what I am going to say to you. Sometimes we had rather rough play, for they would frequently bite and kick as well as gallop. I used to run with them, and had great fun we used to gallop all together round and round the field, as hard as we could go. They were older than I was some were nearly as large as grown-up horses.

There were six young colts in the meadow besides me.

As soon as I was old enough to eat grass, my mother used to go out to work in the daytime and come back in the evening. When it was hot we used to stand by the pond in the shade of the trees, and when it was cold we had a nice warm shed near the plantation. In the daytime I ran by her side, and at night I lay down close by her. While I was young I lived upon my mother's milk, as I could not eat grass. At the top of the meadow was a plantation of fir trees, and at the bottom a running brook overhung by a steep bank. Over the hedge on one side we looked into a plowed field, and on the other we looked over a gate at our master's house, which stood by the roadside.

Some shady trees leaned over it, and rushes and water lilies grew at the deep end.
