For my refrence - Page 122
I wake up and move my heahrough the grass.I stand up and shake off the excess stuff stuck on my fur.My mouth is dry.I open and close it several times.My tongue gets stuck on the top,bottom and sides of my mouth.I walk to a puddle from last nights rain.I walk up to it and see my reflection.Half of me is a dark muddy brown,far darker than my coat.I stare at the reflection in the water for a few moments and I stick my nose into the small puddle and drink the water.The cool refreshing water wokle my mouth up.It was so refreshing.The contents of the puddle was enough to keep my mouth wet for a little bit.I sighed and walked over to a huge tree and put my left side to it and started scrathching my self on it.It felt really good.I put alot of pressure on it,too much.I cut my hide.It was a huge bloody gash.It hurt alot,and burned.The flies ate at immediatly.I used my nose to shoo them off and got blood on my nose.The smell of the blood was freightening.I began walking through the thick tall grasses and bushes.I could hardly see over them.I started trotting,for I had seen a big pond of water,and a waterfall.I was so overjoyed I began galloping.My condition had taken me ove and I collapsed,gasping for air.I had deformed pre-mature lungs,well thats what the humans thought.I laid there for a long time and finally got up.My gash was still bleeding,but not as bad as before.There was a puddle of blood on the ground.I wlake dup to it and the flies scattered.I let out a small sigh and started slowly walking towards the pond.I finally reached it and,I was extremely dehydrated from the long hours I spent on the ground.I almost collapsed putting my head down to drink.I began drinking,the cool water soothed me all over.I had finished drinking,and went and layed down in the water.I set my head on a rock so I could breathe.The water gushed into my gash,cleanning it out.It stung.The pieces of bark in the gash got swept up in the low current.I got up and shook off the water.I was relaxed and starving.I looke dup at the sun.It wasnt there.I noticed it was getting darker and darker.I knew I couldnt leave this pond,because the wild animals would get a tme if I went out into the open grasses again,and if they tried to get me I would be defenseless.So I walked over to a bunch of trees and layed down under them.It began raining very hard.I woke up,the lightning and thunder was extrmely frightnening,I jumped to my hooves.I stood under the trees,looking at the rain fall.The thunder made a loud boom and frightened me.The bushes rattled loudly,I thought something was oging to get me so I tried to get away,slipped and feel in the three inch thick mud.I slammed on the ground,with my foot under me.I laid there and sighed.The mud stung my eye,as did the lightning.The ground shook with every boom of thunder.I had a memory of my mother nuzzling me and us playing in the green pastures.I was happy from that memory,but when it ended the pain came back.The gash in my side was filled with water and my leg was numb and cold.I was cold.I was shaking.I attempted getting up,I put pressure on my hurt leg and I collapsed.I tried to get up again,not using and pressure on it and slipped.My hindquarters had come forwar don my one front leg and I slid forward a few feet,I finally fell.The mud was now 4 1/2 inches thick,and quickly gettin deeper.I felt it going up my back and to my shoulders.I knew I had to get up,or I would die.But I couldnt I just couldnt do it.I used my nose to push up the mud,to make a pillow sort of thing. rested my head on it.I was tired,sore and starving,but I didnt care.I didnt care aobut anything anymore.I laid there and finally fell asleep.I had gotten used to the rain,thunder and lightning.The next day I woke up.My mouth was dried than desert sand and my stomach growled fiercely.I looked at my body,almost covered in mud.My back legs were completely covered in wet heavy sloppy mud.I kicked at the mud,making a little bowl for my legs.I was laying on my hurt leg.I couldnt feel it,but I was.I attempted to get up again.I did.I got up and stood there on on foot.I put some pressure on my other front leg and it stung and burned.Pain shto up my leg,thorugh my neck and down my back.I swished my tail a little bit and the pain got worse.I ached and screamed inside with every step I took.I made it to the water pond and drank for a long time.I had gotten my fill of water and stumbled into the water,hoping the cool water would help my badly hurt leg.It soothed it.The pain went away and my leg got a little smaller.I guess youc an say it helped.I put some pressure on it and almost fell in face first.It wasnt fully healed but it felt better.My hoof got stuck in the deep mud,I had no choice.I reared up and fell backwards.I immediatly got up.I practiced walking.I began getting better at it.My ocnfidence rose.I was so proud of myself.My stomach growled,very loudly.I stumbled towards the deep grasses to eat.I had not eaten in almost two days.I had reached the tall grasses and took a huge chunk out of it,grabbing a mouth full and eating like I was half starved,which I was.I was bony,muddy,swollen,bloody and cut up so badly.You never would have known I was domestic at one time of my life.I ate for the remainder of the day and walked back to the trees where I had slept last night.I stood on the trees and closed my eyes.I was in pain but I had to fight it. Ill continue this later 3nodding
