IF I WAS..

What if I was a horse? No, I wouldn't make anything bigger than a short, stout pony. That is sad, don't you think? I admire the horses so much. What can be lovelier than all that power in a sleek and graceful body? But even as a pony (maybe a white, cuddly one), I would enjoy running through the meadows and the hills, reveling in the sunshine and a bale of hay.      I wonder, what do the horses think about carrying the humans on their backs? Are they glad of the company, or is the weight a bother? Maybe, being a pony is good, at least I wouldn't have to transport nothing heavier than a child!
