In this chapter, the author utilized the form of letter to depict the story. First, the horse told his brother-in-law to raise his sister’s dauther, Catherine, because of her parents’ no recovery. Then the horse told his brother-in-law somthing about Cathy. She has many merits, which are from her parents, including grace, sense of justice, vivacity, cheerfulness, etc. In addition, even though she is only nine years old, she learns as many as five languages: Spanish, English, Franch, German and Italian. Moreover, her maturity in mind is above the same age children. Finally, the author took one of her events for example to describe her invention is right, but the judgement is wrong and how cute she is. The event is that when she sees the big ant was trying to kill the little one, she was very engry and brought her foot down upon the floor to kill the big one; however this action killed two ants. The horse continued to persuade his brother-in-law that she could make him younger and cheerful when he is in retired status.

I t’s really a attracting story. Sometimes one people has many advantages, but his or her background is the decisive factor that he or she will suffer unfair statement. I will wait for know that his brother will raise his sister’s dauther or not.

You did a great job. Acturally, I am confused with the reading of the title. It is mainly talked about the story between the human and the horse, right?

It is sure that everyone has his/her own merits and disadvanges, and people always show the good side personality and cover the bad ones. Thus the unfair statement is inevitable and always happened around us. This tale is so interesting that you and I are going to wait for what is going on.
Your comment is greatly apprciated.

First, thanks a lot for your praise. In this story, the author use horse’s perspective to state a tale. Actually, I think the author use horse to describe something happened among people. So, you are cofused that whether the author explain the story about people or just the horses.
