Black Beauty had no friends on the farm.
As I grew, I became handsome. My coat became blacker.
I had a star on my forehead and one of my feet was white.
One day, a man named Squire Gordon came to look at me.
"I like this one. I want to have him," he said to my master.
"OK. I will train him as a good horse," my master answered.
I had to wear a saddle on my back and horseshoes on my feet.
Then I was trained to carry someone and pull a carriage.
The time came to say goodbye to my mother.
She looked at me for a long time and said,
"Remember, do your best whatever happens and keep up your good name."

In the middle of the night, I woke up and smelled something. There was a fire in the stable.
At that time I heard James calling my name.
"Come, Beauty! Don't be afraid!"
He tied his scarf lightly over my eyes, and led me out of the stable. Then he went back for Ginger. James was coming through the smoke, leading Ginger.
Everyone talked about the fire. Last night a man left his pipe in the stable.
Because of the pipe, the dry straw caught fire. Pipes were never allowed in the stable at Mr. Gordon's farm.
