Today, I read "Black Beauty", a book in the Oxford Bookworms Library series. It was written by Anna Sewell.
'What more could I want?' says Black Beauty, as he describes his pleasure home and his kind woners. 'Freedom! For the first four years of my life I had a large field where I could gallop around at full speed - with no straps, no bit, and no blinkers. Now I stood in a stable, night and day, except when I was wanted for work.' Black Beauty has been well trained. He knows that he must never bite or kick or run away, and must always do what he is told, however tired or hungry he feels. He always behaves well, but when he is sold, first to one owner, then another, and another, he learns how hard a house's life can be, and how stupid and how cruel some people are...
I think that in this story, the suffering when animals are abused by humans is depicted in real. I think that he who does not lose the purity even if it is made to do a hard work is very beautiful. It is a work that the heart is strongly moved. If you are interested, please read it. I recommend it.
