A horse fair is an interesting place． There is always a lot to see． There are young horses from the country, little Welsh ponies, like Merrylegs, and many beautiful horses too． But there were also a lot of poor, thin horses, worn out from hard work． I was very sad to see them．

At the horse fair there was a man with a gentle voice and kind grey eyes． He offered twenty-three pounds for me, but they refused, and he walked away． Then a man with a very loud voice came． I was  ▲  he was going to buy me, but he walked off． Then the grey-eyed man came back again and said: “I’ll give twenty-four for him．”

“Done,” said the salesman． “He’s a quality horse and if you want him for cab work, he’s a bargain．”

Half an hour later we set off for London, along country roads, until we came to that great city． There were streets to the right, and streets to the left． We went into one of the small streets, and then into a very narrow street, with small, old houses on one side, and stables on the other．

My new owner stopped at a house and whistled． The door opened, and a young woman, a little girl and boy, came out．

They all looked at me．

“Is he gentle, father?”

“Yes, Dolly, as gentle as a kitten (小猫); you can pat him．”

Dolly, the little girl, patted my shoulder without fear． It felt so good! They led me into a clean stable, with plenty of dry straw, and after a delicious meal I lay down to sleep, thinking “I’m going to be very happy here”．

——From Black Beauty

One day, my master sold me to Squire Gordon． He lived with his family in a big house． “You’re a beautiful horse,” he said． “You have a beautiful black coat． I shall call you Black Beauty．”

The pirates, the Lost Boys, the Indians and the beasts are all walking round and round the island in a circle (圆)． They never catch each other because they are all walking at the same speed． At the end of the procession, there is an enormous crocodile (鳄鱼)． The boys are the first to leave the circle． They disappear very quickly into their home under the ground． The entrances to their home are in seven large trees． There’s one for each Lost Boy—Nibs, Slightly, Tootles, Curly, the Twins—and one for Peter Pan． Each boy enters through a hole in the trunk (枝干) of his tree． Hook does not know where their home is, but he wants to find it．

Later Nibs goes out for a walk． While he is walking through the woods, the pirates see him． Starkey, the ship’s mate, takes out his pistol (手枪) but Hook stops him and says, “No． I don’t want to shoot one Lost Boy． I want to kill all of them． Go and look for them! I want to find their house!”

The pirates disappear into the woods． Now Captain Hook and Mr． Smee, the ship’s bosun, are alone． Hook begins to talk about the Lost Boys．

“I want Peter Pan, Smee,” he says． “Peter Pan and the crocodile made me lose my left hand．”

“Oh, yes． I know that you are afraid of crocodiles,” says Smee．

“I am not afraid of all crocodiles,” explains Hook quickly． “Just one crocodile． It has my hand and now it wants to eat the rest of me．” Then he sits down on a large mushroom．

“Smee,” he says． “That crocodile wants to kill me, but luckily it has a clock inside it． The clock makes a noise: tick-tock, tick-tock． When I hear the tick-tock of the clock, I have time to run away before the crocodile can catch me．”
