words. It is a story of how he was treated with kindness
and love when he was young, but how his treatment
changed at the hands of different owners: some were kind
and cared for him properly, but others were careless or
unkind, and this led to illness and injury.black beauty was a
kind and gentle horse.but fate has put him in the hands of
cruel masters.now he is in danger of being worked to
death! Before its too late ,someone must rescue
Black Beauty.
Black Beauty spent his young life with his
mother on Farmer Grey's farm. Farmer Grey was a good,
kind man and the horses had a good life. His mother told
him that not all people were good and she gave him some
advice: 'Always be good so people will love you. Always
work hard and do your best'. Black Beauty tried to follow
this advice all his life. The stable boy, James, got a better job
with a nearby farmer so he was trained by the head groom.
One day, when he drove the carriage led by Black Beauty,
they nearly had an accident. Thanks to the clever horse,
they avoided a broken bridge and got home later but safe.
Black Beauty saved Mrs Gordon's life
when he ran very fast to bring the doctor to her. He then
became ill himself because a new groom didn't look after
him properly when he got back. : One day, a groom called
Reuben Smith was left in charge of the horses. He got drunk and rode
Black Beauty very hard and used a whip. Black Beauty lost
a shoe and eventually fell. Smith was killed in the accident
and Black Beauty's legs were badly cut. He survived but
his legs were scarred and Lord Westland decided to sell
him. Black Beauty's next home was with a London cab
driver, Jerry Barker. Jerry and his family treated Black
Beauty very well, but the work was hard and the hours
were long. Jerry became ill and had to sell Black Beauty
to a farmer, who promised to look after him and find him
a good home.
