女兒的小說：美人- 迷霧的第二隻馬駒

女兒前段時間課間時寫了小說新作 Beauty - Misty's 2nd Foal (美人- 迷霧的第二隻馬駒)。故事梗概是：生活在農場的一對兄妹，家裏有媽媽馬叫迷霧，迷霧有個馬駒叫風暴。有一天，孩子們發現迷霧顯胖，獸醫檢查後，發現迷霧懷了孕，生產期在10月份。（女兒的生日也在10月份，難怪小說作者選10月份啊！）

接著是風暴失而複得，迷霧產前陣痛，新馬駒出生，取名為美人。迷霧受傷後得醫治而病愈，美人與哥哥風暴一起玩耍，成長。他們很愛媽媽迷霧。

有商人欲出重金買這三匹馬，寶馬無價，兄妹堅決不賣。（女兒對金錢價值尚無知曉，她文裏的商人欲出200，400，甚至1000美元收購三匹馬，出價其實太低了吧。 但在女兒的眼裏，1000美元是筆巨大金額，而寶馬朋友，是不出售的。）

然後是三匹馬參加馬術表演，如明星般，很精彩。

美人繼續成長，他們一家相親相愛地生活在一起。（不難看出，女兒很愛家愛動物，還是個樂天派。）

Beauty - Misty's 2nd Foal

Introduction

There were a boy and a girl named Paul and Maureen. They lived at a ranch and their favorite horse was Misty. Misty already had one foal named Stormy.

1    Misty Is Pregnant

Maureen and Paul were brushing the dirt off Misty's fur. Stormy stayed with Misty a lot but he loved to play. Maureen and Paul thought Misty was getting a little too fat, so they called the vet. The vet came and checked Misty over and over and finally said Misty was pregnant. Maureen and Paul gasped and didn't speak for a long time. Then they finally asked when is the due date? The vet said maybe in October.

2    Where's Stormy

When Maureen and Paul woke up, they immediately went to Misty's stall and Stormy wasn't there. Where could Stormy be? They looked around the yard but he wasn't there. They called his name but he didn't answer. Then with their grandpa they went everywhere in town and they went to a farm and found him. He was groaning. So they took him home.

3    Beauty is Born

When Paul and Maureen went to Misty's stall, Misty was in pain. It was on October 4th, and they called the vet. When the vet looked over for a long time. The vet said the baby horse was ready to be born. Then the baby horse came out. Maureen and Pul kept thinking about a name. How about Cutie? Nah. They decided on Beauty.

4    Misty is Hurt

When Paul and Maureen went to Misty's stall, she was hurt. Maureen quickly called the vet and the vet came. The vet said Misty fell and would have to drink a medicine. So Misty drank the medicine and got better.

5    Beauty is Growing

Beauty started drinking her mom's milk and she started to grow. She was now very interested in Stormy. Beauty and Stormy played all the time. Beauty and Stormy became really good friends and they loved their mother.

6    The Person Who Wanted Misty, Beauty and Stormy

A person came walking by and saw Misty, Stormy and Beauty and said "I will buy them for $200." Paul and Maureen said no. He said "$400." Paul and Maureen still said no. He even offered $1,000 but Paul and Maureen said no. So the dealer went away.

7    Beauty, Misty and Stormy Go To the Show

Beauty, Misty and Stormy were going to a show. They were going to be the stars of the show. When they got on stage, Paul was riding Misty and Maureen was riding Stormy, and Beauty stayed with her mom (Misty). They did a beautiful act. Paul, Maureen, Misty, Stormy and Beauty loved the show. As Beauty grew older, she loved her mom Misty more and her brother Stormy more, and Paul and Maureen more. And they lived happily together.
