A Stormy Day - story told by Black Beauty (a horse)
One day late in the autumn my master had a long journey to go on business. I was
hooked to the dog-cart, and John went with his master. I always liked to pull the dog-
cart, it was so light and the high wheels ran along so pleasantly. There had been a great
deal of rain, and now the wind was very high and blew the dry leaves across the road in
a shower. We went along merrily till we came to the toll-bar and the low wooden bridge.
The river banks were rather high, and the bridge, instead of rising, went across just level,
so that in the middle, if the river was full, the water would be nearly up to the woodwork
and planks; but as there were good substantial rails on each side, people did not mind it.
The man at the gate said the river was rising fast, and he feared it would be a bad night.
Many of the meadows were under water, and in one low part of the road the water was
halfway up to my knees; the bottom was good, and master drove gently, so it was no
matter. When we got to the town of course I had a good meal, but as the master's
business engaged him a long time we did not start for home till rather late in the
afternoon. The wind was then much higher, and I heard my master say to John that he
had never been out in such a storm; and so I thought, as we went along the skirts of a
wood, where the great branches were swaying about like twigs,
and the rushing sound was terrible.
“I wish we were well out of this wood,” said my master.
“Yes, sir,” said John, “it would be rather awkward if one
of these branches came down upon us.”
The words were scarcely out of his mouth when…
