He was really happy with his horse. He always played, and had fun with his horse. His horse was a friend of him. He loved and proud by having this horse. And, John became a hard working man. He always traveled with his horse to everywhere. And his horse can carried heavy and many things on his back. The horse always obeyed what his owner wants. John was really tired but, his horse helped him and was enjoying working for John.
But, when the horse had old, he can’t help John in his work. He was so old and weak. John also didn’t have much time to care of his horse.

He just spend my time and money.” So, John was leaved his horse on the way. The horse understood, at the same time, he felt very sad. He was felt so cold and crying. And, the other traveling horse was heard his crying sound.
