My mother and I had a happy life. She worked during the day. I played with the other young horses and had great fun. At night I lay next to her.

One day, my master sold me to Squire Gordon. He lived with his family in a big house. "You have a beautiful black coat. I shall call you Black Beauty." he said.

My master had two horses. One of them was Merrylegs. He was very friendly. The other was Ginger. She was not friendly. She bit and kicked people.

Ginger and I pulled a coach together. The coachman's name was John. Ginger and I worked very hard. We became fiends.

Ginger told me. "My master was not kind to me. My reins（细绳） and bit（马嚼子）hurt me.

One day in autumn, Squire Gordon went on a long journey. John went with him and I pulled the coach. The weather was rainy and windy. We came to a bridge. I stopped. "Something is wrong."I thought. I did not want to walk on the bridge. Mr Gordon and John wanted me to go across the bridge, but I did not move. Just then a man saw us. "Hey there! Stop! "

"What is it?" shouted Squire.

"The bridge is broken in the middle," he answered, "If you go on to it, you are all going to drown in the river."

John said, "Black Beauty saved our lives. "? 

When we returned home, Squire told Mrs Gordon," We are all safe, thanks to Black Beauty! "

That night I was glad, though I was very tired.
