Once upon a time there lived a kind old widow who had a beautiful pet horse. He was red. They lived in a pretty cottage in the grassy hills in Warwickshire. One day the red horse went on an adventure to fiind some friends. On the way he saw a pretty pebble which was so beautiful he could not resist picking it up. What he did not know was that it was a magic pebble. A unicorn saw him pick it up. Soon afterwards the horse felt sick so he decided to stop for a rest on the hill. The enchanted pebble made him disappear and left in his place was a giant picture of a red horse in the mud.
One day the unicorn, who was fllying past, saw the picture of the red horse. She said "what an ugly dirty picture of a horse. I wish he could be real and beautiful again. I will take him to the magical forest above the clouds where he can become a horse again.” And so he did. The old lady was lonely and had been very worried about her horse. She set out to look for him. The unicorn told her that he lived in the sky. She went to the moon to look for him but she couldn’t get home again. She now lives on the moon. People have been searching for the red horse for many many years. Nobody will fiind him because he lives above the clouds.
