“Young lady, you get back here this instant!” Carmen Samile tried to ignore the harsh words, but her mother knew that trick all too well. “Don’t pretend you can’t hear me Carmen. You know you’re not allowed to stray that far from the house!”
Carmen sighed and started back to the house. Ever [...]

The mare was cold and hungry. She’d been wandering for days in the soft, cold snow and no longer knew where she was. All the while she had been watched from a three story house by a young girl. The girl’s mother wouldn’t let her outside as she was prone to colds. [...]

My guardian angel does not wear a halo,
But has four silver shoes.
My guardian angel does not walk,

But gallops in from the pasture.
My guardian angel can’t [...]
