Prince and Rover of Cloverfield Farm

At Cloverfield Farm there were four horses—Dobbin and Bird, Dan and Daisy. Dan was getting old so he could not go fast or work hard any more. "We need another horse," said Farmer Hill one morning. "Mr. Ross has some for sale. I am going over to look at them to-day and perhaps I will buy one." "I hope," said John, "that you will get one that can go fast—faster than Daisy." "I hope," said Sue, "that you will get a fine-looking horse." "And I hope," said mother, "that you will get a gentle horse, one that will be safe for me to drive." "I will try to please you all," said father, "but first of all we must have a strong, willing horse—one that will do his share of the farm work."
