Bab 1: The Life of A Horse Named Cloud

The first place I remember was my home in the wild where me and my mother and a few other herd members and we always kept moving but once in a while we would stop and I could drink my mother's milk. Then when I was old enough to eat grass and play with the bigger foals but I always stayed close to my mother where I felt safe and comfort. One day my mother called out to me and I stopped playing with the other foals to go to her "listen to me my son you must never leave the herd cause a horse on their own will never survive cause being in a herd means you're safe" my mother said. "Mother, I promise I will never leave the herd or your side, and when I get older I will protect you cause when I'm older I will be the strongest stallion," I said. My mother laughed and said "yes you will be and you will be a great leader with the kindness of your heart and your beauty. I'm proud to have you as a son". The next day we woke up with a loud sound and a big flying object that was coming after us. The herd took off running and my mother ran with them and I followed my mother cause I trusted her. We ran for a few miles in till we were stopped in our tracks by a fence and then there was a fence all around us and the hole herd was scared and everyone was kicking and pushing but I didn't get kick that much cause my mother try to keep me safe but we all were so packed together it was hard to move. Then there was a lot of two leg monster's but my mother told me they were humans. "Mother what will happen to us" I asked, my mother gave me a sad look "my son" she said "I dont know what will happen but whatever does you must be strong and don't fight with the humans cause they are the strongest and no matter what we do they will always be stronger" my mother said with a sad tone. The next day a fence open and we all took off running but to find ourselves in a train car, I think we were in that train car for three days, but after those three days the humans separated us up I don't know where the humans took my mother or the other herd members but I was number and put in a pen with other colts. The loud sounds scared me and humans all around, I was bought by a man named James and loaded into a metal box. I was scared and I tried to get out but every time I did I got hurt and then soon started to have cuts on my face and legs. When the metal box stopped moving the door opened and I ran out with full speed just to find a fence all around me but at least I have grass and water and I saw some other horses in a pasture next to the round pen I was in. They all looked so calm but how I thought. The next day I woke up with a human hand rubbing my neck and I got scared and ran to the other side of the round pen then the human said "come here fella I won't hurt you but I need to clean those cuts on you" then he held out his hand at first I thought he was gonna attack me but he didn't he just held it there and soon I extended my neck so I could smell his hand. His hand smelled like roses then he slowly moved his hand to my head and I flinched a little but when he touched my face it didn't hurt when he touched my face, a few weeks later I soon got use to him petting me and when I did he let me go to the other pasture with the other horses. The next day James put a halter on my face, at first it felt weird but I soon got used to it and when I got older James sent me to a neighbor's farm. I was put in a meadow with sheep and cows and train tracks on the otherside of the fence.
