Three horses lived in a stable next to the farm house. The farmer’s son and daughter would often
take them for a ride out in the fields and down the village streets.
One morning, the sun was shining and the horses were outside in the field. The farmer noticed
a fox trying to steal one of his chickens and fired his gun to scare the fox away. The horses were
frightened and ran across the field. One of the horses jumped over the fence and disappeared
down the lane. The other two horses stopped at the fence.
The farmer’s daughter and her brother picked up two saddles and a rope to catch the escaped
horse. They mounted the two horses that were still in the field and followed.
Two young farm helpers indicated the direction that the first horse had gone. The girl and boy raced
down the road. Then they saw the escaped horse eating grass in the next field. Slowing down, they
prepared the rope and approached the horse quietly. Gently, they put it over the horse’s head and
led him back to the stable.
