Black Beauty By Anna Sewell
"A horse never knows who may buy or drive him; it is all a matter of chance for us"--Black Beauty's mother once told him. And indeed, life is a journey of chance for Black Beauty as he passes from one owner to another, some of whom are kind and thoughtful, while others, cruel and indifferent. But no matter what the circumstances, Black Beauty's spirit remains indomitable.
