“They are young farm horses and haven't learned how to behave," my mother told me. “ You are different.
“它们是年轻的农用马，还没学会如何举止得体，”母亲告诉我，“你不一样。
Your father is well-known, and your grandfather once won the most important race at Newmarket. Your grandmother was quiet and nice, and you have never seen me kick or bite, have you? I hope you will grow up to be a willing worker and never bite or kick."
你的父亲很有名望，你的祖父曾在纽马特赛场上赢得过最重要的比赛。你的祖母性情温顺，你也从未见过我踢咬同类，不是吗？我希望你长大后能成为一匹乐于奉献的劳动者，永不踢咬他人。”
I have kept all of precious advice from her in mind, She was a clever and sensible old horse. Her name was Duchess.

Whenever she saw him at the gate, she trotted across.He gently patted her and said,“Well, old Pet, and how is your little Black Beauty?” (I was a dull black colour, so he called me Black Beauty.)He sometimes brought me one apple as a snack, or a carrot for my mother.
