Handsome, The
Colt
|
|
One day, roaming
the areas around
her home, Clara
saw a beautiful
little horse.
The colt calmly
ate the herbs it
found in the
field.
|
Enchanted with
the horse, the
girl wanted to
have it for
herself. As
there was no one
around there,
Clara thought it
was abandoned
and decided to
take it to her
house.
Clara arrived
home with the
colt, led it
into the yard,
and got it a
bowl of water as
it should be
thirsty.
Clara's mother,
after finishing
to tidy up the
house, went out
to put the broom
outside, where
it was usually
stored. When she
heard a strange
noise, she went
into the yard.
Frightened, she
saw |
 |
|
the colt
grazing in her
lawn. |
|
- Oh, my God!
What is this?!...
The girl ran to
where her mother
was and
explained:
- Mom! I brought
a horse to our
house! Isn't it
gorgeous? Its
name is Handsome.
Surprised, the
mother asked for
an explanation:
- But how did
you find this
horse, Clara?
- It was alone!
I think there is
no one to look
after it! So I
brought it to
our house, where
it will be very
happy, Mommy.
Wide-eyed, the
mother wondered
how to tell the
truth to her
daughter without
hurting her:
 |
- My dear,
nobody leaves a
beautiful horse
like this
abandoned!
Certainly its
owner will be
sad to not find
it in the place
where he left
it. We have to
take it back. It
is not ours! And
we have no right
to keep it.
- But I found
it, Mom! Now
it's mine! - she
said, crying.
The mother sat
on a chair,
placed the
little girl in
her lap and
hugged her
daughter with
love.
- Clara, let's
think. Would you
be happy if
someone took
away your kitten
because he was
on the street? |
- Ah, but Biluca
is mine! He has
a home and we
take care of him,
Mom.
- That's right,
honey. However,
seeing him alone
in the street,
one can think
that he has no
owner.
The girl thought
for a moment,
and replied:
- I think you're
right, Mom. If I
lost Biluca, I
would be very
sad. But I so
wanted this
horse for myself...
- and she began
to cry.
The mother
calmed her
daughter down,
as she wept with
grief, and said:
- Clara, let's
talk to its
owner. Maybe he
will let you be
a friend of the
horse?
|
The little girl
smiled through
her tears and
nodded. Thus,
both left to
seek the land
where Clara had
found the colt.
Finding it, they
saw a very sad
man sitting on a
rock. Seeing
them, he asked:
- Have you seen
a lost horse
around? I left
it here in this
land and went to
fetch water;
when I returned,
he was gone! I
do not know what
else to do! ...
The mother
exchanged a look
with her
daughter and
Clara understood:
- I am so sorry,
sir. I took your
horse from here.
As he was alone,
I thought he had
been abandoned,
so I took him to
my house. |
 |
Greatly relieved,
the man whose
name was
Antonio, smiled:
- Praise God! I
thought he had
been stolen and
I was about to
contact the
police! But,
tell me, girl,
is my horse well?
Clara smiled
happy:
- Very well! He
is grazing in
our backyard. We
live near here.
Come with us.
You'll see how
he's okay.
Anthony thanked
her and went
with them.
Entering the
backyard, he saw
the colt grazing
the grass and a
bowl of water
next to him.
Anthony ran and
hugged the colt
with great
affection, glad
to have found
him. Then turned
to Clara and
said:
- You will
always be
welcome in my
house, Clara. It
is simple but
friends are
welcome. And
when you are
missing the colt
you can go see
him. Soon I will
be training him,
and you will be
able to mount
him. What do you
think, Clara?
The girl smiled
happy.
- Yes, I will go,
rest assured,
Anthony. Now
that I know him,
I want to be his
friend. What's
his name?
- He's called
Handsome!
Clara looked at
her mother and
smiled with
tears in her
eyes:
- See, Mom? It
is the name I
gave him. Thank
you, Anthony.
Can I really go
visit my friend
Handsome?
- It will be a
pleasure, Clara.
And also I will
teach you how to
ride him. Then
you can go out
together.
Happy, after
having
accompanied
Anthony to his
house, Clara
said good-bye to
him and Handsome,
promising to
return there
whenever she
could.
Going back home
and holding
hands with her
mother, she said:
- You were right,
Mom. Antonio
loves Handsome
and would be sad
if he did not
find him anymore.
I am glad you
showed me that I
had no right to
keep him. Now we
are friends, and
whenever I want,
I can see him! I
think it was
Jesus who warned
me, through you,
Mom. Thank you!
