Horse Scent
by Michelle
One night, I walked to the park. Then all of a sudden, I felt something tackle me! I turned around to see a Arabian horse, chestnut coloured. "Well, you're a beauty," I said, sarcastically. It snorted. "Just joking, YOU'RE UGLY! You looked like you were never groomed!" Well, I guess wild horses have to rub themselves on trees or something to groom themselves, I thought. I walked away. The horse kept tackling me so that I fell. Once it tackled REALLY hard and I went rolling down the hill, curled into a little ball. Horses, I thought bitterly, they are SO rude. And then I think I heard, "WATCH OUT!!!" And then I hit something hard. Luckily it only sprained my ankle. "Ow, ow, ow," I said as I limped my way back home. The horse tackled again. With my other leg, I kicked its chest. "I hate you!!" I tried to run away, but I tripped. The horse somehow picked me up and put me on he's back. "Wow, you're a strong stallion," I grinned as he put me down, in front of the door step. I looked at my watch. Two A.M.. Oh no, I think I stayed up a little bit too late. I picked up the mat, got the key, put it in the key hole, unlocked the door and put it back under the mat. "I guess I'll see you tomorrow," I said to the dear Arabian. And then, a horse pushed me into the door. "Ouch!" I say, "Now when I praise you, you push me! Is that - " I look behind me, seeing ten more horses. " - it?" I finished, weakly. "Uh oh." I quickly get in the house and lock the door. "Phew, they would've tackled me to death..." and then I see two little soft horse toys. Then the horses started sniffing and bashed open the door. My mouth opened so wide. They sniffed me strangely. "Oh, so I have a strange smell or scent, do I?" They seemed to nod. I sigh and say, "I do not. It's not like I use horse shampoo or something."
