SKY'S SPECIAL LEGS
Sky was a pretty palomino. At a first look she didn't seem any different, she was just a normal golden palomino pony. But then you looked a little closer and you saw that her legs had dazzling white stockings up to her knees. That wasn't all though, if you looked at her hoofs they were as clean as pieces of washing straight of the line.
Her frog was different too, (no, not a jumpy frog, the frog is the soft, sensitive triangle on the hoof.) Sky's frog wasn't dull and dirty, it was bright, clean and ... gold! Everyone always stopped and gasped as she gracefully trotted down the street, her hoofs clopping on the tarmac. People would throw gifts at Sky and her owner, Lucy Beffit, so they were always abundant with pretty things. It didn't go to their heads though. There was always rich adults with lots of money trying to buy Sky, but even though the rich wanted to buy Sky for heaps of money Lucy wouldn't sell her.
One day Lucy and Sky were at the dairy, when Lucy went inside. Immediately a tall man in a pitch black crisp offered a mountain of money for Sky. Of course Lucy said no, she wouldn't sell. The walked out of the dairy. While Lucy was choosing what to buy, the tall man was stealing Sky.
He took her away to his mansion and showed her to his little girl, Ella. The little girl dragged Sky away to the stupendous stables. Meanwhile Lucy was in floods of tears. Her mother called the police and only minutes later they piled into the wailing police car, zooming to the mansion. The police got out of the car and demanded that Sky was given back. The man handed her over straight away without a fuss and apologised.
Sky and Lucy were reunited and always stayed together from then on. I love you Lucy. Thought Sky. I love you Sky, and I'm never letting you out of my sight again. Thought Lucy. And she never did!
