"I saw a horse and it looked like it was hurt and abused."
"Where Amy tell me"
"At the Mr.melon's yard, he was hurting that horse."
"Ok I will get the truck and trailer and I will tell grandpa, ok go hop in the truck Amy."
"Ok mum" Amy and her mum Merrion drove to the Melon's yard and pulled into the horse barn."I'll get the horse and you get the trailer ready ok before the storm comes."
"Ok mum hurry and don't get hurt." Merrion and Amy got ready and as Merrion got the horse Amy said"what if Mr.melon comes back,"
"I hope he does, for what he did to this horse."in surprise Mr.melon came up and said "what are you doing with my horse.Give it back." Yelled Mr.melon.
"No mr.melon what you did to this horse is not right you treat it unfair."
"Give it back."
"I will call the police it will save me the trouble of arguing with you."
"Fine take the dam crazy horse." Amy and Merrion loaded the horse into the trailer and drove away on the bumpy unsteady road. The horse named Spartan was kicking around in the trailer. "Mum what is the horse doing." Amy said sounding worried.
"He is unsettled, he will calm down when we get on the freeway." Spartan kicked the trailer hard and the trailer came off the truck and went rolling and crashed into a tree. "Hello" said Lou. " Lou your mum and Amy had an accident and your mum died and your sister is in critical condition." Replied Grandpa who owns the horse ranch. "I will be home as soon as possible." Lou got the closest flight to Hudson." How is Amy."
