There was once a sweet horse named Sammy. She had a family that loved her so much. They

were part of a Renaissance Fair, and they performed every summer through the fall. Sammy was a black beautiful stallion that loved to run but just wasn't good at any of the games at the fair. Every year, the fair

would close around winter, and the horses would act just like humans.

Sammy was always alone and would crunch on apples alone on the side of the hill that

looked over the fair. Her father named, Brian, wished she would play with more horses or

even her brother, Andrew, or her sister, Kelly. She was kind and loved to go on adventures

by herself.

The thing is that her brother was always busy trying to learn and practice. Andrew was the

oldest. Kelly was always taking care of the other animals at the fair, and she was the

youngest. Sammy happened to be the “middle child” and felt alone.

She liked it that way.

Now there were three mean horses that would always make

fun and bully Sammy for no reason.

Sammy would run like the wind from the bullies, Shane, Kate and

Mark.

Everyday Sammy would run to a big tree after she lost the bullies in some weeds and

she would cry. The bugs and spiders would try and help her, but they could not. Sammy

would come home late and just go to bed. Her dad never knew what was happening.

One day the bullying got really bad. Shane, Kate and Mark called

her names, threw stuff at her and made her cry.

She galloped and galloped until she couldn’t run anymore. No one could find Sammy for the

longest time.

Her dad and her brother found her at the side of a lake looking at the ridge of the lake. Sammy

was still crying a little. It seemed like her tears were a part of the

lake.

Brian, her father, came over, but Sammy got up and moved away. She had stopped crying, and she

looked grim. Sammy moved slowly and her father followed. He asked, “What is wrong? Why

are you sad?” Sammy never answered.

Sammy finally stopped and told her dad, “Everyday I would go and run away from

these three horses that bullied me.” “Listen, Sammy, there will be a lot of

horses just like them. Try to stay positive and laugh when they try to make fun of you, and as for the hitting, I will talk to

their parents.” After Sammy heard all of this, she was

happy.

Brian took Sammy home, and Sammy was her old self once

again. Kate, Mark and Shane became Sammy’s friends after she told

them they were hurtful. They all played in the fields

together and lived happily ever after.
