I am Black Beauty. I think a horse fair was an interesting place. There was always a lot to see. There were young horses from the country and many beautiful horses too. But there were also a lot of poor, thin horses, tired 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 23 pounds to buy me, but they didn’t accept 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 away. Then the grey-eyed man came back again and said, “I will pay 24 for him.”
“OK,” said the salesman, “He’s a very good horse and if you want a horse for cab (出租马车) work, he’s exactly the one you’re looking for.”
Half an hour later, we left the horse fair and walked along the roads, and finally got to that great city—London. 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 (马厩) on the other.
My new owner stopped at a house. The door opened, and a young woman, a little girl and boy, came out. They all looked at me. “Is he gentle, Father ” “Yes, Dolly, just like a baby cat. You can touch him.”
Dolly, the little girl, gave me a gentle touch without fear. It felt good! Then they led me into a comfortable, clean stable, with lots of dry straw, and after a delicious meal, I lay down to sleep.
