Black Beauty is a famous story. This is an abridged version of it, and lasts for 1 hour. I play it at night for my 6-year-old daughter as she goes to sleep. Here are some of things she recalls from the story:
- Black Beauty's mum said never kick or bite.
- He never forgot this.
- Once he went in the dog cart, but when they got to the bridge, Black Beauty stopped, even when the farmer smacked him and cut him, because the man with the torch said "stop, stop, the bridge is falling down."
- They had to go another way at the four crossroads.
- When he had to leave, his master said "always do your best."
- At the new home they called him Black Beauty, not Blackbird or Ebony like the other horses.
- When it got cold they gave him a bed of straw and such a lovely dinner, mashed potato and baked beans.
After a few listens she liked this, but from this series she prefers The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
