Dream HorseDream Horse is a story parents can tell their children. A boy called Billy wakes up after a nap. He wears cowboy clothes. He’s very happy. His mom asks why he is smiling He says that during his nap he saw his dream horse. The horse told Billy that he would go for a ride when he sleeps at night. Billy couldn’t wait for bedtime. The mother becomes a bit alarmed. She wants Billy to tell her about the dream horse. She didn’t think Billy took naps anymore. Billy told his mother that a friend from school named José told him about the siestas they take in Spain. Billy enjoyed speaking in a new language. Billy was anxious for the night. He asked if sunglasses could bring the night sooner. His mom said no. Later, when Billy’s father comes home, Billy’s sister asks if she can have a dream horse. Billy’s father was amazed at his son’s imagination. Billy speaks of the dream horse all day. It’s name is Pal. He promised the whole family he would bring them feathers from his dream. He quickly fell asleep. When Billy was sleeping the dream horse nudged him in the arm and told him it was time for the ride. They went from the mountainous area around Billy’s home, to farm country. By the way, Pal could fly. Very soon the dream horse mentioned that they were traveling in time. Some of the horse’s friends would join them. The horse’s friends are Indians who invite Billy to ride with them. The Indian was Spirit Chief of all the Indian nations. Each Indian with him represented one of the tribes that roamed America before the Europeans came. Billy and the dream horse go with the Indians as they look around the country. He sees the Buffalo that once were abundant. The Spirit Chief urges Billy to take to heart what they’ve shown him. The Spirit Chief then removes three feathers from his headdress. He gives them to Billy knowing that he promised to bring them back for his family. Billy’s parents tell them it was only a dream when he tells them about his experience with the dream horse. But then he pulls out the feathers. They’re flabbergasted. The story is pretty amazing. |
