=**JOE'S HORSE**=

There was a little boy named Joe. His dad (Jim) was amazing on his horse Ben. Ben was a really strong, and healthy work horse. One day Jim took his horse out to work when Joe came outside.

Joe asked Papa, "Can we get me a horse?"

Papa answered, "Their cost is to much, we gonna have to wait till ma's horse has a baby calf."

"Alright papa,"

" But while your here you can help me with yo mama's horse, She needs feedin".

"Great", said Joe.

Joe rushed in the horse pin and got her a bale of hay. When he got in the barn Rosie (ma's horse) was layin on her side.

"Papa come quick there's somethin wrong with Rosie". Papa rode in on Jack.

"O my, I'll go get the doctor. I won't be back for a while so go get mama, and hurry to".

Jim sprinted off on Ben while Joe rushed inside and got mama and she got her coat on and waited for pops. They waited for an hour when finally pop came back with the doc. The doctor climbed off the horse and checked Rosie. Later the doctor told them the news.

" Rosie's fine, she's just pregnant".

"Really? Wow!" said Joe.

Joe went inside and waited for what seemed hours but minutes. Later he came out and saw the new born calf.

Jim gave Joe the calf as a present.

"What's his name,"asked Joe.

"I don't know you name him he's your horse. Joe thought for a minute.

"Red" said Joe.

" Thanks papa, thanks mama, he's perfect".

Later the next year, Joe got to ride Red. He was a smooth horse. He bucked a little but Joe got used to it. Later, Joe took his horse out for walk. They were crossing the street when a Henry Ford model T came out of nowhere and smacked Joe and Red. Jim seen what happened so he rode over, climbed down off of Ben, and looked at the black tire marks which led all the way to the ford model T and Joe. Joe was hurt bad. Jim picked up Joe and put him on Ben. Jim bent over to check Red. All of a sudden Jim heard a faint sound. The sound was coming from Joe.

"Pa, i'm fine take me back to the house and go get the doc again, but hurry I don't know if Red will make it".

Pa hopped on his horse and took off down the road. When pa arrived at home he grabbed Joe and pulled him off the horse. Jim took Joe inside and rushed out the door. Jim stopped and thought for a moment. He started to run but he avoided Ben and ran down the road to the car. Jim checked inside the car. Jim looked at the dead person sitting in the driver's seat. Jim opened the door and threw the dead guy out. He sat down and turned the key. The car started, he put it in drive and took off flying down the road. Later he got back with the doctor again. Jim took the doctor down the road to check the horse. The doctor started to talk,

"Red has 1 broken rib, 2 broken legs and a stomach fracture".

They loaded the horse (with the help of neighbors) into the truck and took him to the house.

"The only way Red is goin to get better is rest".

They unloaded the horse and put him in the barn. They went inside to check on Joe. Luckily the doctor knows what's wrong with both, animals and people. The doctor bent over to check Joe.

"He's paralyzed from the waist down".

" O my said papa, what we gonna do".

" You ain't gonna do nothin about it, he's paralyzed and you can't help him" said the doc.

Joe sat there, silent. " I have to leave it's my lunch hour".

That day past and Jim put Joe on his back. They walked into the barn and checked on Red. Joe thought to himself, I hope Red don't end up like me. Jim got on his knees and let Joe off. Joe sat there then started to army crawl up to his horse. He stroked the tip of his fingers, through Red's silky red fur. Joe bowed his head and started to pray, lord Jesus Christ please heal this special horse,because he didn't hurt himself, I did. I didn't look both ways before I crossed. It's my fault your creation is like this, so please help me make him better. Please. Amen.

" Papa help me please".

"Alright. Hop on my back, we will go get some hay".

Then we are gonna have to make some casts out of sheep wool, then put metal over top, so hop on".

"Thank you papa".

Jim grabbed the hay while Joe grabbed a little pile off Papa's back. They walked over to Red and fed him the hay.

"Alright let's go make the cast".

They went inside to get the shears. They walked over to the sheep pin. Sorry sheep but it's for a good cause Jim thought. They cut the wool and went to go get the metal to put over the casts so the casts holds. They cut the metal and fitted it to the horses ribs, legs, and stomach. After they fitted everything, they both put it on Red. Perfect fit.

Later in the yea,r Red had plenty of rest and finally got back up. At first Joe and Jim had to take the horse through physical training before Joe could ride him again. They had to take him for walks, made him run and gallop and after two months of physical training the horse was ready.Papa lifted Joe up on Red."Take it slow because this time you can't use your legs".

Joe grinned and kicked Red. Red went as fast as he could, and Jim laughed. "That kid will do anything for that horse, and there is nothin to it".
