Henry the horse was strong, handsome, and… a little bit bored. Every day on the farm felt the same: hay for breakfast, hay for lunch, and hay for dinner.
One morning, he spotted the gate swinging open. Henry blinked. “Freedom? Don’t mind if I do!”
With a joyful neigh, he trotted out, tail swishing proudly behind him. “Time for adventure!”
Birds with Too Many Opinions
Henry soon reached a meadow where a flock of birds circled overhead.
“You’re walking too slowly!” one bird chirped.
“Your tail is too messy!” another squawked.
“You should try flying!” a third teased.
Henry snorted. “Excuse me, but I’m a horse. Flying isn’t really my thing.”
The birds giggled, and Henry rolled his eyes. “Note to self: wild animals sure are bossy!”
The Muddy Disaster
Next, Henry found a sparkling stream. “Ah, water at last!” he sighed.
But just as he leaned down to drink—SPLAT!—his hoof slipped, and Henry belly-flopped into the mud.
When he stood up, he looked less like a noble horse and more like a chocolate cake with legs.
A family of rabbits burst out laughing. “Nice mud suit!” they squeaked.
Henry grumbled, but deep down, he couldn’t help but laugh too.
Wild and Wonderful
As the sun set, Henry galloped through fields, splashed in streams, and munched on sweet grass that tasted way better than farm hay.
Yes, the wild was messy. Yes, the animals were silly. And yes, he was still covered in mud.
But Henry felt happier than ever. “Freedom may be muddy,” he neighed proudly, “but it’s worth every slip and slide!”
From that day on, Henry became known as the happiest, muddiest, and freest horse in the meadow.
The End !
