Pegasus : Chapter 1 and 2

(By Kellie Stanton)

Chapter 1 : Friend Around the Corner

Hi! My name is Pegasus, Peg for short. My breed is s a golden mane. That's a very rare horse. Lets get to the part when I was born.

When I was born, I had a very special symbol on my forehead, almost like a human, (which stands for bad luck). My parents were so worried, they took me away from Horse Valley. Then they moved to a place called Pegasus Valley. As I grew, things got difficult. Colts started calling me names. One Pegasus got tired of it and scared them away.

"Hi! My name is Amy".

"I'm Pegasus".




















Chapter 2: Plays All Day

Amy and I play every day. We play in the forest. I like looking for mountain lions. Sometimes Amy gets scared and flies away. Another is running through the valley. Amy always wins at that. I'm not as good as her, but I'm getting better, every day when I practice. My most favorite activity is flying! I love flying! I always beat Amy at flying races. She practices every day, but she can't keep up!
