I`ve read a book about the autobiography of a horse . The title is " Black Beauty " was written by Anna Sewell . It was very popular to children . The book talked about the autobiography of a horse . Especially , the horse keeps strength and good temper throughout his suffering . His first owner was Farmer Grey , he was a good , kind man . Farmer Grey called the horse Darkie . He spoke to as kindly to Darkie as he did to his little children . Darkie was treated very well and given good food , good lodging and kind words .
One day , a new master came to take him away . Farmer Grey said him goodbye . Darkie was very sad . Fortunately , the coachman was John Manly , he gave him good grooming every morning . His new owners are Squire and Mrs Gordon called him Black Beauty . They were very kind to him and never used the whip on him . Darkie was happy in new place . He also knew two new friends Merrylegs and Ginger . Merrylegs and Ginger were treated badly before they were sold to this place .
After that , Darkie was sent to another place . He had to work hard for his new owner Jakes . Darkie was loaded more than usual , and laid whip on badly .But he had to take a leap on steep hill .When the lady rode on him , she said in a sweet , earnest voice to encourage Darkie to gallop. After a while , he was sold to Nicholas Skinner , a new owner .He had a harsh voice
and was always hard on the horses . Darkie had no rest on sunday .Sometimes , Darkie was so
fevered and worn that he could hardly touch his food . The driver was so hard and had a cruel
whip with something so sharp at the end that it sometimes drew blood , he whipped Darkie
under the belly , but Darkie still did his best and never hung back . He felt very miserable . At last, he was sent to a very stately-looking person , Miss Ellen , she liked him a lot . And that is
his last home , Darkie was placed in a comfortable , fed , and left to himself .
In my opinion , i like this book because i can learn more about the animal feelings . They are very miserable and under hard control of humans . People shoudn`t be cruel to the animals since they have a sense of pain and suffering like humans do .

Wow -- what an eventful life! Nowadays, of course, most people don't have horses. I wonder how many owners the average horse had, in the past? Maybe a updated story could be written now about the various owners of a car!
