by ANNA SEWELL pages 48-68
Black Beauty and his owner saw a dreadful sight. A man was driving in a carriage pulled by a beautiful pony. After they stopped, the man turned toward them and wrenched the pony's head. And the man nearly threw the pony onto his haunches and began to lash the pony furiously. The pony plunged forward, but he recovered himself, while the whip cut into him. It was a terrible sight. It made the owner of Black Beauty so angry. He said "By behaving like this, you injure your own character as much as you injure your horse. Remember, God will judge us by our conduct - toward all creatures."
It was a so horrible sight. I couldn't understand why he did that. And I wonder that the owner of Black Beauty did only say these above phrases because he was so kind to not only humans but also animals. I thoght he would help the pony by interrupting the man's behavior when I was reading this book. It might be the owner's kindness to the man, but I hoped the owner stop the unpleasant behavior.

Would you try to stop someone if you saw them hurting an animal? How would you do it?
