Ashley and White Horse

One day Ashley was out in her Ks
yard. She was watering her flowers. q
There was a c/op, clop behind her. She looked and
there stood a white horse with wings.
“Hello,” said the white horse with wings. “I am
White Horse.”
“Hello," said Ashley. "Iam Ashley. What can I
do for you?" Ashley tried to be brave but was a
little scared of the big talking horse.
“We are looking for a girl to help us. We need
you to ride our young horses. They need to feel what
it is like to have a person on their back," said White
Horse.
“Have you had a gir! ride your young horses
before?" asked Ashley.
“yes, we have, but she has grown up now. So we
need anew girl," said White Horse.
“I could maybe help you. I love to ride horses.
Only, I have never ridden a horse with wings,” said
Ashley.
"I will let you feel what it is like," said White
Horse. “Hop up on my back."
Ashley hopped up on White Horse's back. He
flapped his two huge wings, and they were off. Up,
up, up into the sky they flew.
“This is grand,” said Ashley. “You fly so well. I
feel like I am floating across the sky.”
“Yes, this is how the young horses should learn
to fly with a person on their back," said White Horse.
“Now let me take you back home."
White Horse landed back in Ashley's yard.
Ashley jumped off the flying horse.
"Yes, I can help you teach your young horses,”
said Ashley. “Do we go now?"
“It is good that you will help us. Thank you,
Ashley," said White Horse. “The young horses only
fly at night in the moonlight. I will come and get you
when you are dreaming. I must go now." White
Horse flapped his huge wings and went up into the
sky.
Ashley opened her eyes. She was lying in the
shade of a big tree in her yard.
“I must have been dreaming," said Ashley.
“White Horse seemed so real."
She went into her home. That very night when _
she was asleep, White Horse came into her room anc
got her. They flew to the land of flying horses.
Ashley rode five young horses that night. At
first the young horses did not fly well with Ashley on
their back. But after a little while, they learned how
to fly well with Ashley. White Horse took Ashley
back to her room, and Ashley went back to sleep.
Now, two or three nights each week, White
Horse comes and gets Ashley to help him teach the
young horses. Ashley loves helping the young horses
learn how to fly with a person on their back. She is
having a fun summer.
