A Surprise for Lily (2013)
““There’s a surprise out in the barn!”
“What kind of surprise?” Lily asked. She had learned from experience to be wary of Dannie’s surprises. His last surprise involved a mouse in Lily’s desk drawer.
“Come look for yourself!” Dannie said and ran to the barn. Lily and Joseph looked at each other and shrugged. They set their lunch boxes on the porch steps and hurried behind Dannie.
Inside the barn was a new horse, standing in a stall next to Jim. This horse was taller than Jim, with a ...burnt-orange-colored coat. Its ears were pointed forward and the whites of its eyes showed. Lily didn’t like this horse, and she was pretty sure he didn’t like her. She wondered why Papa would have bothered with a horse like that. She hadn’t even known he’d been thinking about getting another horse.
Papa walked up the barn aisle. “Well, what do you think?”
