Dreams of a Dancing Horse
“I believe Molly and Jonathan will try to find me, and I can’t allow that. They must move on. I picture them in New York City, painting and singing. I shall never forget them. And I hope they will remember their “Fella.”
But as day after endless day passes me by, a sadness settles into my soul. The farther I walk, and the more tired I become, the more I wonder. Why can’t I find a friend I don’t have to leave? Why can’t I have a home of my own?
I would have been happy dancing at the plow with Len...a. Later, I might have become part of Bessie’s herd if those cowboys hadn’t run me off. And Mary? All I wanted to do was help that little girl’s dream come true, just like I wanted to help Molly and Jonathan.
That’s all I ever want. And where does it get me? In the middle of nowhere. Without a home. Without a friend.
Well, what about my dream? What about Federico the Dancing Horse?
Dancing. What’s dancing ever done for me, except get me into trouble?
I slow to a trot and try to hear my mother’s song in my heart.MoreLess
