My first home was a farm on a land of green grass and high trees. My master lived in a big house near the road. At first I lived on my mother's milk. We ran around the field all day. When I got a little older, I could eat grass. Then my mother went out to work. Because I had no brother, I would run with the other horses. What fun we had! My mother told me of my father's good name. Most of the people in this part of the land had heard of him. She said I must carry my head high and keep my good manners. My master was a good man and a friend to all his horses. He called my mother Pet. I was called Darkie. He liked us best of all his horses. Just before I was two years old, I saw something that was most surprising. It was in the spring. We heard the cry of many dogs. "They have found a rabbit," my mother said. "Soon we will see them running by." A rabbit went past us. Many dogs and men on horses were on her tail. The rabbit could not get out of the garden. The dogs were all over her. I saw her head drop. A man picked up the prize-a dead rabbit.0
