by ANNA SEWELL. pages 1-23
It's the story about a horse. Because he was black, he was called "Darkie". When he was a child, he lived happily with his mother and other horses. Their master was a very kind and good man, and all horses liked him.
One day, he saw a terrible scene that he has never forgotten. It was a hunt. Some hounds and men riding on horseback were running after a hare. And one of the dogs caught it. But unfortunately, some horses tumbled during the hunt. They were injured, and one of them broke his leg. So, a man killed him with a gun because he couldn't run any more. And one of the men on horseback was dead, too.
As I wrote an awful summary, the part of this story that I read was little bit terrible. I hope next part is a funny story. And I didn't know that it is a famous story and the movie was made from this story. I want to watch this movie after I read this book. I think that Darkie will grow up spiritually rich.

What do you think about hunting? Can you imagine what it's like for the animals? Do you think the horses enjoy it?
