"Oh no, we need to call the vet because something is wrong with Izzy! I think the baby is stuck," Lila said. The horse was lying on her side and breathing hard. She was trying to push the foal out but she couldn't. Only one hoof was sticking out and it didn't look like the baby was going to come out safely. "Cierra, call the vet quickly!" Lila exclaimed. Soon, the doctor came over. "Oh my, this isn't good! We need to get the mare up and walk her around," said Doctor Bo. “How are we supposed to get her to stand up?” asked Cierra. “ Lila and Cierra, instructed Dr. Bo, you girls try your best to help guide and encourage her to get up while I pull on her halter to force her up. Be ready on the count of three! One, …show more content…

We still had to force her to walk around. Shortly after, the foal came out but was lying lifeless on the ground with no movement. Lila and Cierra ran over to the baby with the mare lying down beside it. The mare was nudging her baby, nickering concerned. Then, the doctor ran back to his car to get more supplies. "We need to carry the baby into the barn because she's not breathing well.
I need to hook her up to oxygen because her lungs are weak and not functioning very well," Dr. Bo said. After the baby was carried into the barn and placed onto some bedding, Dr. Bo began to give her oxygen. Then, all of a sudden, the foal stood up and bolted out of the barn. "Oh my...Doctor, what just happened?" Cierra asked. " I have no clue!" Dr. Bo …show more content…

"This isn't happening," Lila said, with an amazed look on her face. Just then, a gorgeous bay horse, speckled with what looked like snow on his coat, appeared out from the woods, near where the mare and her baby disapeared. "What...is that really you Cocoa?" Cierra asked. Cocoa nickered while walking toward Cierra and Lila, nudging them. "Is he a ghost horse?" asked Dr. Bo. "Yes, he died 2 years ago from a magical potion that someone put into his water," Cierra explained. "What exactly is that magical potion?" Dr. Bo asked. "It's Dimehopper, a poison that kills normal horses and turns them into ghosts," Lila said. "Maybe that's why the foal recovered so quickly after it's difficult birth.
She may of heard Cocoa, went running to him, and disappeared," Cierra said. " So, where is Izzy then?" Dr. Bo asked. "When she ran off after her baby, she disappeared also," Lila answered. "Have there been any other reports about the magical potion given to any other horses? Several months ago, I remember hearing someone mention something about a magical potion that turns horses into ghosts.
I didn't have any idea that it kills horses," Dr. Bo

  • Why The Creature That Opened My Eyes Of Frankenstein

    The Creature That Opened My Eyes Sympathy, anger, hate, and empathy, these are just a few of the emotions that came over me while getting to know and trying to understand the creature created by victor frankenstein in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. For the first time I became completely enthralled in a novel and learned to appreciate literature not only for the great stories they tell but also for the affect it could have on someones life as cliché as that might sound, if that weren’t enough it also gave me a greater appreciation and understanding of the idiom “never judge a book by its cover.” As a pimply faced, insecure, loner, and at most times self absorbed sophomore in high school I was never one to put anytime or focus when it came time

Walker says, “I dreaded looking into his eyes-because I had of course noticed that Brown, his partner, had gone-but I did look. If I had been born into slavery, and my partner had been sold or killed, my eyes would have looked like that.” The children next door give insight on where the other horse went by explaining that horse had “been put with” Blue, which Walker explains was an expression that old people used when speaking of an ancestor during slavery who had been impregnated by her owner.

My fingers grasped the long, wooden windowsill and my little pug nose pressed against the window pain.
