My Cousin’s Pony
Reading edition
My cousin has a pet pony. He is a Shetland pony. His name is Teddy. My cousin lives near Camp Grant and goes to a country school. He lives a long way from the school. So, instead of walking, he hitches his pony to a cart that his father made for him. This cart looks like a racing cart. My cousin rides to school every day. One Saturday, he drove over to our home. We gave the pony some oats in a sack. We laughed when the pony spilled the oats. My cousin likes his pony very much. He will not sell him. He always tries to give Teddy the best of care.
