B: Are you sure about this, Misty? I’ve
never ridden a horse before! I might
fall off if I ride one.
G: Don’t worry, Ryan. It’s not that hard.
All you have to do is hold on tight and
try to stay on!
B: Couldn’t we do something else? I
would rather go swimming or hiking.
G: We can do that later today. Besides, I
think it’s great to try new things. It’s
what makes life interesting!
B: Do we at least get to choose our horses
or do they choose for us?
G: Yes! We can choose for ourselves. I
want that little white horse over there.
I suggest you take the big black horse
since you weigh more.
B: That’s a good idea. I really hope that it
doesn’t run too fast.
G: Here we go! It’s our turn to ride!
