My train journey
Hi Ali,
At the moment, I’m at Cairo station with my father. We’re taking the sleeper train to
Aswan tonight. He has a meeting there tomorrow and he has asked me to go with him. The
train leaves at seven o’clock. There are a lot of other people who are waiting too, so the
train is going to be busy.Travelling by train is a great way to see the scenery of a country.
I’ve done this journey before. The beds are very comfortable. I know that we’re going to
arrive at our destination after a good night’s sleep. Booking tickets is easy: you can book
online or buy tickets at a station. My father bought us return tickets from Cairo to Aswan.
The journey takes about 13 hours.We’re eating in the restaurant carriage this evening.
After dinner, the assistant on the train puts down the beds in the sleeping car. It’s fun
going to sleep and knowing that we’re going to wake up in a different place the next day!
The train stops at Luxor early tomorrow morning on its way to Aswan.
I think it will be hot in Aswan. I’ll call you when I arrive at the hotel.
Best wishes,
Tarek

Presenter : In today's programme. Doctor Hamdi is talking to us about how people can
become addicted to things. So, doctor, in what ways can addictions start?
Dr. Hamdi : Well, there ore two ways that people can become addicted to something.
A physical addiction is when your body thinks that it needs something. For example, you
may think that you must have a cigarette to wake up in the morning. Your body will think
that something is wrong if you do not have that cigarette. It is very hard for people to
stop feeling like this. When people who are addicted to smoking try to stop, they can feel
very bad.
Presenter : What is the other way that people can be addicted?
Dr Hamdi : You can also hove a psychological addiction. This is when you think that
you need something to feel OK. For example, some people are addicted to social networking
sites. If they cannot use them, they start to feel unhappy.
Presenter : How do you know if someone is addicted to something?
Some people become addicted to using social networking sites. At first, they use
them just to send messages to their friends and to find out what their friends are doing.
However, some people need to check their social networking sites all the time. If they
do not check them, they begin to worry or to feel unhappy. The best way to help these
people is to suggest that they only use social networking sites for about half an hour.
Suggest that they phone their friends instead of sending them messages. Encourage them
to play a sport or make something instead of looking at their mobile phones!
Dear Hassan,
I’m writing this email after my frst day at work. I am working on a project for
a big new building in the middle of Cairo. The project is to build a station for part of the
new metro line.When I arrived at the building site, the manager ordered me to wear a
helmet and boots. He warned me to look out for things falling, especially if I’m under the
ground. He asked me to tell him about my work experience. I told him that it was my frst
job. Then he said that I should work with a group of men who are building a wall around the
new station. Manual work like this is very tiring, but I enjoyed being part of a team. The
manager told me that the new metro would open in 2022. The station I am working on is
one of 15 new stations on the line. When it is fnished, there will be 1.5 million more
passengers on the line. I am proud to help with such an exciting project!

Journalist : A railway station manager 's job is very important, but not many people
know about it. Today I'm talking to the manager of one of Cairo's busiest station . So, Mr
Ahmed, what does a station manager do?
Manager : Well, the most important part of a station manager's job is to keep
everyone safe in the railway station, and to help people to get onto the correct train.
Journalist : But you have other people to help you to do this, don't you?
Manager : Of course. I must manage all the other people who work at the station.
There ore a lot of them: train drivers, ticket inspectors, cleaners, mechanics and
engineers. I must encourage them to do their jobs well and most of them work really hard.
I must also help them if there are any problems.
Journalist : How often do you hove problems at the station?
Manager : There is never a day without a problem! Sometimes I have to deal with
fairly small problems, for example, a person loses something important or takes the wrong
train. Sometimes I have to help with extremely bigproblems, for example, a person
becomes ill or a train breaks down.
Journalist : So what would you say to someone who wants tobecome a station manager?
Manager : Well. the job is never boring. You must like trains,of course, but you must
also like people. You meetdifferent people every day. These people can be quite angry if
their train is late. They often tell me to find them a different train!
Journalist : What do you say to them?
Manager : I encourage them to be patient and I try to help them.
We work in an incredibly busy station and people usually understand that there are
sometimes problems.
Journalist : It sounds a very interesting job. Thank you!
* After finishing Preparatory School at 15, some students choose to stay in general
education, but about sixty percent of students go to technical schools.
* Students at technical schools learn skills that they can use in the world of work. These
skills are extremely important for the future of the country. Because technology changes
all the time, the skills that people need today are very different to what was needed ten
or twenty years ago.
•There are now many more technical schools around Egypt and each school teaches a
different kind of technical skill. For example, students can learn about work in hotels and
shops, or learn skills needed for industry,farming or nursing. Students study at these
schools for three or five years.
• Under the Egyptian Dual Education system, technical school students spend two days
each week at technical school and four days at a place of work, where they can practise
using their new skills.This can really help the students after they graduate.
• Students who do very well at technical schools can then continue to study at university.
They con get very good jobs, such as becoming engineers. However, all jobs that need
technical skills are important. Life would be impossible without electricians, nurses,
mechanics, and farmers.
Bike catchers are people who take bikes from canals in Amsterdam, a city in Europe.
There are no hills in the city so a lot of people cycle to school and to work. In fact, thirty
percent people in Amsterdam travel to work by bike. The city also has a lot of canals and
sometimes the bikes fall into the water. Perhaps this is because there are more bikes in
the city than people! In the 1960s, there were so many bikes in the canals that they began
to damage the bottom of boats. That is when the job of bike catchers began. One bike
catcher told me that they take 14,000 bikes out of the canals each year!
These people can be quite angry if their train is late. I'm quite interested in pizza.

Last week, our teacher told us to research information about airports. He advised us to
use the Egyptian Knowledge Bank to find out information. In the next lesson, Omar told us
about Marsa Alam International Airport. He told us that it might have been diffcult for
tourists to get to the Red Sea before the airport was built. Today, the airport is open
for 24 hours a day and every hour 1,200 passengers can travel through it.
Then Haytham told us about Osaka Airport in Japan. Because it was next to many
buildings, the old Osaka Airport could not grow. In the 1980s, Japan encouraged
architects to plan a new airport at sea. Building a new island for the airport must have
been very diffcult. When it opened in 1994, the airport was the most expensive building
project ever! The teacher then asked me to talk about Barra Airport. This airport is
on a small island in the north of Britain, where planes land on a beach. I told the
class that tourists often walked on the beach, so people warn them to be careful when
planes are going to land! Next week, the students in our class are giving a talk about
railway stations. I think that this will be interesting! to research
Amir : Nabil, have you decided where you are going on holiday this summer yet?
Nabil : Well, my parents and I have looked at some interesting destinations and my
uncle has encouraged us to go to Luxor. He told us that Luxor is a great place, but
we can’t decide on how to get there from Cairo.
Amir :What are you thinking of?
Nabil : We are planning to either go by train or drive. I think it will be much slower to
drive, but I also think it’ll be more exciting. For example, we can stop at different places
on the way.
Amir : How long does it take to drive?
Nabil : It takes about twelve hours. Why?
Amir :I don’t think I could sit in a car for so long. I prefer being on a train.
Nabil: The train is faster, but sometimes the train is late and you can’t take many bags
on the train. Sometimes the stations are busy, too. Last time we had to wait to buy our
tickets and the train almost left without us!

Professor. Could you possibly answer some of the students' questions?
Professor : Of course. What would they like to know?
Girl 1 : Could you please explain to me why I can't feel nthe earth turn?
Professor : Yes, it is interesting that we can't feel the earth moving.The earth turns
around itself at about 1,670 kilometres an hour and more than 100.000 kilometres an hour
around the sun. The most important thing to remember about this is that when something
is moving all time, you can't feel it, like when you are on a train. Are you following me?
Giri 1 : Yes. thank you Professor.
Girt 2 : I wonder if you could tell me what a star is made of?

Digital projects
Unfortunately, many of the world's ancient wonders are in great danger. However, a way
to help save many of these monuments has been found by Ben Kacyra, an engineer who
comes from Iraq. CyArk is a project that he started in 2002. It uses special cameras that
take photos of ancient temples and monuments. If anything happened o these buildings, the
photos would help archaeologists and engineers to repair them. CyArk's projects have also
been put on an online gallery, so that people from all over the world can see and understand
the beauty of these , ancient buildings.
Ancient Thebes
Many tourists visit the area of ancient Thebes to see buildings such as the Ramesseum,
one of the most interesting ancient temples. Special photos of the temple's floors and walls
have been taken by CyArk's cameras. These will give archaeologists more information about
the temple. The archaeologists would be able to use the photos if theyn needed to repair it.
Really ? Go on.
Buying things
Today, only about ten percent of Egyptians keep their money in a bank. Most people buy
things using cash. The people who buy the most things are aged 18 to 24 and they spend the
most money on electronics, air tickets, going out and clothes Some businesses in Egypt use
the internet to sell things. Egypt is the 12th best place in the world for companies to invest
in online businesses. Peoplewill probably buy many more things online in the future Egypt has
the highest number of internet users in the Arab world. What people buy online will probably
increase by 300 percent in the next few years. That is because more and more people have
smartphones, and because the government continues to invest in technology

Captain Scott was a famous English soldier. He loved adventure and wanted to go
to the middle ofAntarctica. In 1910 , Scott started his trip with four other people. If
they got there, they would be the first people to walk to the middle of Antarctica. It
was a long and difficult walk , but in January 1911, they finally arrived. However, Scott
found that he was not the first person to walk there. A man called Roald Amundsen and
his team had arrived one month earlier.
What did Captain Scott do that was different to Roald Amundsen?
Captain Scott did not have the modern equipment that Roald Amundsen had and he did
not know how to travel in the snow as well as Roald Amundsen.

Dinosaurs
Dinosaurs lived on earth for more than 150 million years. By studying fossils, scientists
have worked out that dinosaurs died out about 65 million years ago. The fossils show that
there were more than 700 kinds of dinosaurs. We also know that some of today's animals
come from dinosaurs, such as lizards and birds.
Why did dinosaurs disappear? Scientists have suggested different ideas, for example,
the weather became too hot or too cold, or the dinosaurs caught a terrible disease and died
out. There are now some other theories. One theory is that there was a huge meteorite
which hit the earth, or perhaps there were a lot of volcanoes.
What would have happened if a huge meteorite had hit the earth? There would have
been a lot of smoke and dust. What would have happened if a lot of volcanoes had erupted
at the same time? There would have been lots of dust and gas in the atmosphere. Both
these events would have stopped the sun shining on the earth for many years. The dinosaurs
would have disappeared very quickly.
Some scientists think that the dinosaurs disappeared slowly. The earth was changing
and some areas became cooler and drier. Perhaps the dinosaurs could not get the food

I live near Ras Mohammed, which is a famous national park in Egypt.I go diving
there two or three times a week. If I had more free time, I could go diving every day!
The Red Sea near here is fantastic. If you dive in some parts of the world, the sea will
be rough and cold. Here the water is very calm and warm. If you didn't want to go
diving could go snorkelling and you could still see a lot of sea life.
The coral here is wonderful. The colours are beautiful and the coral is of different
sizes. Did you know that coral looks like plants, but it is very small animals that live
together in large groups? The coral is protected, and the sea life is fantastic.
There are fish here that you can't see anywhere else in the world. If you dive to
the bottom, you will probably see a stingroy. However, if you went to Shark Reef, you
might not see a yhork. You have to go at the right time of year. You can often see
dolphins and they are fun to swim with. Birds also love Ras Mohammed because there
are so many fish for them to eat. In autumn, thousands of birds stop here on their way
to Africa.
Have a look at my photos. There are hundreds of them on my website. Of course, if
I hadn't taken my special camera, I wouldn't have taken any photos under the water.

The Red Sea is one of the warmest seas in the wortd. For this reason, hundreds of fish
and animals live there. In fact, if we didn't have the Red Sea, the world would have 20
percent fewer kinds of fish.
• One of the special kinds of fish that live in the Red Seo is the sailfish.This is the fastest
fish in the world. It can Jump out of the water at 110 kmh.
• Stingroys also live in the Red Sea. They live in groups of five or six and usually stay at the
bottom of the sea. They like it there because other fish can't see them.
• There are also more than 40 kinds of sharks. Some of these are up to three metres long,
but not all of them are dangerous. You may be surprised to know that some coral can be
more dangerous! Divers need to be careful of fire coral. It is called this because if you
touch it, it will burn you.
• Larger animals also live in the Red Sea. Green turtles grow to about 1.5 metres long and live
for 23 years or more. If they are in water, they can swim at about 55 kilometres an hour, but
they are very slow when they walk on beaches. They usually only visit beaches every two to
four years, when they are ready to lay eggs. A mother turtle can lay

Some of the most beautiful animals on our planet are in danger or have died out.
Here, we look at three of them
The river dolphin is from China. This mammal was already in danger in 1996: there were
not many of them in China’s rivers . In 2006, scientists couldn’t fnd any. They may have
all died out.
Rhinos are animals that belong to the dinosaur family, but they didn’t die out with
them. They are the second largest land mammals and many live in Africa. The western
black rhinos could run very fast, but many rhinos were killed for sport. If people had not
Coral is made of very small animals. A lot of our coral is in danger of disappearing. We
don’t have as much coral as we did in the past and some kinds of stingray and many fsh
have died out because of this. Coral is in danger because there is more pollution in the
sea and the sea water is becoming warmer. If the coral disappears, more sea life may
also disappear.

3- Lizzie 4- Captain
A young horse at Earlshall park. The horse who works with Beauty driving taxis.
Earl Smythe’s house at Earlshall Park was much bigger than Birtwick Park and more
modern. The Earl’s daughter, Lady Anne, liked to ride me around the park with her brother
or cousins. I enjoyed these rides, which were sometimes with Ginger and sometimes with
another young horse called Lizzie
I was a popular horse with Earl Smythe’s wife as well as his daughter, but Lady Smythe
always used me to pull carriages. She liked the latest fashions, and one of these was for
horses to use special reins. These kept the horses’ heads high in the air all the time while
they were pulling the carriages.
“If they do not tighten the reins more, I will do what they ask me,” said Ginger. “I can
see that this is a good home and that they are good people. But if they tighten them any
more, there will be trouble.”
ان
I did not like these reins at all, but Ginger and I continued to work hard. However,
every day, they tightened the reins a little more. One day, we were both in a carriage
together. The Lady decided that she wanted the reins to hold our heads up even higher. I
could see that Ginger was not happy. Before she could tighten the reins, Ginger began to
kick so hard that she fell to the ground. I fell too, and we both had to be cut from the
carriage as soon as possible.
We were both hurt after the fall and we were taken home. Earl Smythe’s helper, York,
was angry about the special reins, but there was nothing he could do to stop Lady
Smythe’s love of fashion. He washed our wounds with hot water and it took a long time
before we recovered.
Ginger and I were put in a field to recover, but my knees were badly damaged. We were
not well enough to run as we used to do, so we spent a lot of time chatting. Then one day,
the Earl came to see us with York.

they Liked in such hard work. فى مثل هذه االعمال الشاقة
A week later, I was taken away from the field and said a quick goodbye to Ginger. I
was taken in a train to the town of Bath. It was my first journey on a train, but the
experience was not a bad one.
My new owner lived in a small house in the town, and he had many horses. People
could hire the horses for a day. This meant that many of them were not good drivers. I
was a gentle horse, so my new owner often let bad drivers take me because he knew I
would behave well.
However, there were also good drivers in Bath. One of these liked me so much that
he asked my owner if his friend could buy me, and soon I had another new owner. His name
was Mr Barry. He was a businessman who had little exercise and his doctor advised him to
ride a horse to keep him healthy. He had a helper called Filcher to look after me and
bought me the best food he could fnd. Filcher was good to me and for a time I was happy.
I did not know then that my life was not going to be happy for long
Filcher began to give me less food each week and I became hungry. I had less
energy and started to feel exhausted all the time. When Mr Barry visited a farmer friend
in the country, the friend said, “Your horse does not look the same. Has it been ill?”
“No, but Filcher told me that horses often have less energy in the autumn and that it’s
nothing to worry about,” Mr Barry replied. “That’s not true!” cried the farmer. “If you buy
good food for this horse, then it isn’t eating it. Something else is! I suggest that you give
this horse some good food for the next few weeks! And I advise you to watch your
helper. There are some men who will steal food even from an animal.”
I was taken to a market for horses. There were horses there of all shapes and sizes;
some were tall and strong, others were old and sick. It worried me to see some of the
horses who looked very thin. Would I be like that one day?
I stood with three other strong-looking horses and many people came to look at us.
The men who thought about buying me opened my mouth, looked in my eyes and felt my
skin. Many of them saw that my knees were damaged and some were rough with me. There
was one man, however, who felt my legs gently and spoke softly. I liked him and hoped he
would buy me. “I think we’ll be good for each other,” he said. He paid twenty-four pounds
and I had another new owner.

My new owner gave me food before he rode me for many kilometres towards London.
It was getting dark and the lights were on in the streets when we arrived in the big city.
There were streets to the left and streets to the right and I thought we would never
arrive. Finally, however, my owner gave a call and a door opened in a small house. A woman
and two children ran out.
“Is he gentle, father?” called the girl. “Yes, he’s as gentle as you are. Come and say hello!”
he said. “Let me get him some food and water,” said the woman, and I was taken into a
comfortable stable. “I think I’ll be happy here,” I thought.
My new owners were called Jerry and Polly, and their children were Harry and Dolly,
who were aged twelve and eight. They were all very happy people. Jerry owned a taxi
carriage and another horse called Captain. The next day, Captain went out with the taxi
carriage in the morning, then it was my turn in the afternoon.
Then the owner of the taxi business came over, a tall man called Mr Grant. He studied
me as if he wanted to buy me, then he said, “He’s a good horse. He will do well for you,
Jerry.”
The first few days of pulling a taxi were difficult. I did not find it easy in London. There
was so much noise and so many people. It was difficult to find my way between all the
other carriages, but in time, I began to trust Jerry and I stopped worrying. At the end of
the day, I was given good food and fresh water. Harry always helped to look after me and
worked as hard as a much older boy, and Polly and Dolly also came to see me often. Jerry
was the best owner I have had
Jerry was always kind to me, but he was not always happy with his passengers. One day,
two young men came out of a hotel and called him over. “Hey, taxi driver. We’re late for
our train. Go as quickly as you can so we can catch the one o’clock train. We will give you an
extra pound,” said one of them. “I will take you, but only at our usual speed,” said Jerry.
Another taxi driver heard him and called out, “I’ll go fast for you! He won’t go fast
because he loves his horse!” The men laughed and jumped into the other taxi. “I must
always think about my horse,” said Jerry. “A pound won’t help if it makes my horse too
tired to take other passengers for the rest of the day.”
Jerry was a very good driver and with a light pull of the reins he drove me carefully
among the carriages, horses, people and taxis that filled the streets, some going one way,
some the other. I always felt safe, because I trusted Jerry.
Holidays were not common for taxi drivers. Many of the taxi drivers did not own their
horses, but hired them each day. That meant they had to work very long hours without a
rest to get enough money. Some of them were not like Jerry and always had to work for
seven days a week. I felt sorry for both the horses and their drivers.

4-Why do you think Jerry bought Black Beauty لماذا اشترى جيرى بيوتى فى رأيك رغم انه لديه حصان

One day, a carriage arrived outside a park where we were waiting to take a family home.
The horse that pulled the carriage looked very thin and very old. She had sad eyes, which
looked at me carefully. “Black Beauty?” she said quietly, and then coughed. It was Ginger!
Ginger looked so very diferent. She told me about her life since we lived at Earlshall
Park. First, a wealthy man bought her, but she was not able to run very fast after her fall
and she was soon sold again. She had many new owners, each one paying a little less money
for her.
"Then I was bought by a man who has many horses, and hires them to men who need
them for taxi carriages,” she continued. “But I’m not strong enough for this work. The men
hit me hard when they want me to go faster. I work every day, without any break.”
“You usually kick people who aren’t good to you!” I reminded her.
“I’m not strong enough to do that now,” she said. “Men are always stronger than me. If
they can get me to work longer hours for more money, they will. I know life is difcult for
them, too. They always think about their families before they worry about their horses.”
At that moment, a man came up to her and began to drive her away. “Goodbye, Black
Beauty,” she said. “You’ve always been my best friend.” I never saw poor Ginger again.
“It is five kilometres,” said Jerry. “You cannot carry your son that far. I’ll take you. You
don’t have to pay me.” The woman was very pleased, but before she could get into the taxi,
two men jumped up in front of her.“Take us to Regent Street!” called one of them.
“This woman is taking the taxi,” said Jerry. “Our business is important. We were first in
the taxi. She can wait.”
Jerry looked at the men and then said, “You can stay in the taxi as long as you want. I
can wait while you rest yourselves.” Then he turned to the poor woman and said, “Don’t
worry, they’ll soon be gone.”
Jerry was right. Soon the men angrily got out of the taxi and walked of down the road.
Jerry then helped the woman into the taxi. We left the woman and her son at the hospital
and as we were leaving, a wealthy-looking woman called us over. “Jerry Barker! Is it you?
I’m pleased to find you here because it’s difficult to fnd a taxi in this part of London.”

6- Why do you think it was difficult to find a لماذا كان من الصعب العثور على حنطور اجرة فى بعض
taxi in some parts of London? مناطق لندن؟
Jerry knew the woman, Mrs Fowler, who was always very kind. When we arrived outside
her house, she said to Jerry: “If ever you have any problems, tell me. I can always find
work for a good driver, and I know you are one of the best.” There were problems in
Jerry’s life.
Winter came and soon there was a holiday for New Year. However, there was no holiday
for the taxi drivers. We had a lot of work to do taking people from house to house. One
evening, Jerry was asked to take home a rich man from a large house in the west of
London. He was asked to wait outside the house until the man was ready. It was very cold
and there was snow in the air. We waited for more than an hour before the man finally
came outside. He did not apologise and was angry when he had to give Jerry money for the
time he waited outside in the street. This man changed our lives forever.
When we finally arrived home that night, I was very cold and tired, but Jerry was
worse. He coughed all the time. The next day, Harry came to feed me but I was not put in
the carriage. The same happened for two more days. I knew Jerry was very ill.
Jerry slowly recovered, but the doctor told him not to drive taxis any more if he
wanted to stay healthy. So Polly wrote to Mrs Fowler and asked if she had any work for
Jerry. A few days later, Mrs Fowler wrote back. She wanted Jerry to work for her and
said that the family could move to a small cottage near her house. This was very good
news for the family, but bad news for me. I knew that they would sell me, and I was
becoming old. Would I ever have such a happy home again?
I was sold to another taxi driver called Skinner. I am sure that this was the same man
who made Ginger so weak and sad. We worked seven days a week and I never had a good
rest or enough to eat.

One day, we waited outside a station for a train to arrive. A family of four asked
Skinner to take them home with all their luggage. The daughter peered at me and said, “I
don’t think this poor horse can carry us and all our bags. He looks very weak.”
“He’ll be fine!” cried Skinner. “Don’t worry about him.”
I tried to pull the carriage as fast as I could, but I was weak because I was given no
breakfast. I wanted to go quickly but when we started to climb a hill, I knew that I did
not have enough energy. I thought that I could not breathe and suddenly fell onto the
ground. I could not move and I was sure that I was going to die.
After some time, someone gave me water and I slowly stood up. I was taken inside and
given some food. A vet came to look at me and told Skinner that I needed good food and
rest, but Skinner said that I was no good if I couldn’t work. He decided to sell me. When I
was well enough to travel, I was taken to a another market for horses outside London
Once again I was with horses of all ages and sizes. This time I was put with the horses
that were old or ill-looking. I did not think anyone would want to buy me now. The people
who looked at me were also very poor and wanted to buy a horse for as little money as
possible.
However, not all of the men were poor. An old farmer with a kind face and his grandson
stopped to look at me. “This one looks kind and intelligent,” said the boy. “Can we buy
him?” “He’s old,” said the farmer. “I’m sure he used to be a good horse, but there’s not
much he can do now.” “He’s not as old as he looks,” said the man who took me to the
market. “He was used for driving taxis and became ill. With a little rest, he’ll be a good
horse again. "The farmer thought for a time, then decided to buy me. His grandson
was delighted.
My new owner was called Mr Toroughgood. He took me to a large field and I was given
good food every day. The grandson, Willie, looked after me very well. When spring came, I
felt strong again and they let me pull a small carriage. “I’m pleased we bought this one,”
said Mr Toroughgood. “He’s a good horse and not old at all!”
The old farmer wanted to find me a place where I could work, and took me to the home
of Miss Blomefield. She lived with her two sisters. “We need a new horse,” she said, “but
this one does not look very well. Look at his knees!” “He has had a difficult past, I’m
sure,” said the farmer. “But you won’t find a better horse than this. Try him. If you don’t
like him, I’ll take him back.”
In the morning, a young man came to take me to their home. He looked at me.
“He has a white foot and a white star on his forehead, like Black Beauty,” he said. “Gosh,
I think it is Black Beauty! Do you remember me? I’m Joe Green, the boy who made you ill!”
I remembered the small boy, not this tall, strong man, but I knew it was Joe and I was
happy to see him again.
“I can see that not everyone has treated you well,” he said. “But you’re a good horse.
We should keep you, that’s for sure.” Joe told the women that I was once Squire Gordon’s
favourite horse, and when they took me for a drive, I knew they were pleased with me.
I have lived in this happy place for a year. Joe is now very good at looking after me. My
work is easy and I feel strong and healthy again. So here my story ends. My troubles are
over.
