Peter followed Mary into the spaceship and did not hear the door close behind him. The temperature fell in no time and very soon the two young people didn't know anything.

When they came to themselves，they were surprised to see that the spaceship disappeared, their car was near them.

“What happened？”asked Mary.

Peter scratched (搔) his head，saying slowly，“Don't ask me. Perhaps we had a problem. Come on. It's time to go home.”

After driving about fifty meters，they found a thick wall made of something like glass stood in their way.

One day, my master sold me to Squire Gordon. He lived with his family in a big house.

"You're a beautiful horse, he said. "You have a beautiful black coat. I shall call you Black Beauty."

I learned to carry my master on my back and pull a coach. I learned to ware reins (缆绳) and a bit in my mouth, I did not like them but all the horses had to wear them.

"What is it?" shouted the Squire.

"The bridge is broken in the middle, he answered. "If you go on to it, you are all going to drown in the river."

"Thank God!" said the Squire. "Thank you, Beauty!" said John. We turned around and went along the road by the river. For a long time no one said anything. Then John said: "Black Beauty saved our lives. He knew the bridge was dangerous."
