“One of us will come here tomorrow and ride in a lesson. Then, when you’re done, instead of putting him back in the field, you will bring him to us.” said Carolyn.

So the next day, Avery rode him and instead of putting him in the field, she rode him to the barn. When she came back, Carolyn and Miss Denise ran out and started petting the horse. Then, Miss Denise said, “I am having a horse show tomorrow to show how thankful I am for you bringing back my horse. I’ll let you ride in it for free.”

So the next day, after the horse show, Avery and Carolyn rode the stallion and both won first place because the horse was a one hundred dollar champion.

They had a good day. The next day, they went on a trail ride. Carolyn went on a brown horse named Butter. Avery went on a horse with spots on its butt named Lucky. Miss Denise went on a horse that was black named Black Beauty, the one hundred dollar champion stallion. When they got back, Carolyn and Avery went home to tell their parents about the adventure. They told them about the one hundred dollar champion stallion.

So, the next day, they went to Bay View Farms and showed their parents the one hundred dollar stallion. Then they asked Miss Denise if their mom and dad could ride the stallion.

Then, Miss Denise said, “We can not have the stallion because we can not pay for him. So if it’s OK with your parents, we are giving him to you because you helped us get him back.”

So Avery and Carolyn kept him at Bay View and rode him every day because they loved the horse so much.

I threw a deep and perfect pass. It was caught with one hand. He kept on running and running. Finally he made a touchdown. When they had the ball they threw a thirteen-­‐yard pass and it was tipped and caught. “Oooo, nice,” I said. They still had the ball. My defense stopped them so they had to kick a field goal.

At the end of the half it was 23 to 16. They made four safeties. That put them with 15 sacks. On the seventh down they went for it but didn’t make it. We scored a lot of points in the 4th quarter. They held us at 42 and we held them at 28. At the end of recess I ran as I could. I was dripping with sweat but happy and excited.
