{The Midnight Visit} Chapter 3

“Rosalie, Rosalie!” Mum called, “Breakfast is nearly over!”
“Oh, I’m coming” Rosalie yawned. She slowly ate her breakfast half asleep.
“Are you OK, Rosalie?” her mum asked.
“Yeah, I’m fine.” Rosalie replied. She grinned, “I can’t wait until tonight”, she said, still grinning.
“Why?” asked her mother, puzzled.
“Oh, just because I’m going to see Mimi and her pony, Tongo, tonight,” she said quickly.
“Mum, can I please text Mimi on your phone?” Rosalie asked. 
“Ok.” Her mother agreed.
Rosalie wrote this:                         

Dear Mimi,

Can I come over to your

house today?

It’s ok with my mum.

Xoxo

Then a few minutes later Mimi replied and said, yes. 
………………………………………
Later, while Rosalie was playing with Mimi, she asked if she could have a halter. “Of course not!” came the answer, “You don’t even have a horse!”
After dinner at Mimi’s house Rosalie went home.
Before bed she slipped a big carrot behind her back. 
“I have a big carrot for you Dawn.” She whispered, “I love you.”
…………………………….
It was midnight when the whinny came again. But this time it was low and mournful, as if someone was in pain. Thousands of scary thoughts came into Rosalie's mind.
Was something wrong with Dawn?
............................................

Why do you think Rosalie wanted to borrow a halter from her friend Mimi?
Have you ever fed a carrot or an apple to a horse?
