C
A horse fair is an interesting place. There is always a lot to see. There were young horses from the country, little Welsh ponies, like Merrylegs, and many beautiful horses too. But there were also a lot of poor, thin horses, worn out from hard work. I was very sad to see them.
At the horse fair there was a man with a gentle voice and kind grey eyes. He offered twenty - three pounds for me, but they refused, and he walked away. Then a man with a very loud voice came. I was afraid he was going to buy me, but he walked off. Then the grey - eyed man came back again and said, “I'll give twenty - four for him.”
“Done,” said the salesman. “He's a quality horse and if you want him for cab work, he's a bargain.”
Half an hour later we set off for London, along country roads, until we came to that great city. There were streets to the right, and streets to the left. We went into one of the small streets, and then into a very narrow street, with small, old houses on one side, and stables on the other.
My new owner stopped at a house and whistled. The door opened, and a young woman, a little girl and a little boy, came out.
They all looked at me.
“Is he gentle, father?”
“Yes, Dolly, as gentle as a kitten(小猫)：you can pat him.”
Dolly, the little girl, patted my shoulder without fear. It felt so good! They led me into a clean stable, with plenty of dry straw, and after a delicious meal I lay down to sleep, thinking “I'm going to be very happy here”.

马市是一个有趣的地方。这里总是有很多可看的东西。有来自乡下的小马驹，还有像“快乐腿”那样的小威尔士矮种马，也有许多漂亮的马。但也有很多瘦弱、可怜的马，它们因繁重的劳作而疲惫不堪。看到它们我很难过。
在马市上，有一个声音温和、有着友善的灰色眼睛的男人。他出价23英镑买我，但卖马的人拒绝了，然后他就走开了。接着，一个声音非常大的男人走了过来。我很害怕他会买下我，但他也走开了。然后，那个灰眼睛的男人又回来了，他说：“我出24英镑买它。”
“成交，”卖马的人说，“它是一匹优质的马，如果你想用它来拉出租马车，那你可捡了个大便宜。”
半小时后，我们沿着乡间小路出发前往伦敦，直到我们来到了那座大城市。右边是街道，左边也是街道。我们走进了一条小街，然后又走进了一条非常狭窄的街道，街道的一边是矮小、陈旧的房子，另一边是马厩。
我的新主人在一所房子前停下，吹了声口哨。门开了，一个年轻的女人、一个小女孩和一个小男孩走了出来。
他们都看着我。
“爸爸，它温顺吗？”
“是的，多莉，它像小猫一样温顺，你可以拍拍它。”
小女孩多莉毫无畏惧地拍了拍我的肩膀。这感觉太棒了！他们把我领进一个干净的马厩，里面有很多干稻草。美餐一顿后，我躺下来睡觉，心里想着“我在这里会很幸福的”。
