BLACK BEAUTY:THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A HORSE(黑骏马·英文原版)。
THE FIRST PLACE that I can well remember was a large pleasant meadow with a pond of clear water in it. Some shady trees leaned ove it, and rushes and water lilies grw at the deep end. Over the hedge on one side we looked into a plowed field, and on the other we looked over a gate at our master is house which stood by the roadside. At the top of the meadow was a grove of fir trees, and at the bottom a running brook overhung by a steep bank.

The first place that I can well remember was a large pleasant meadow
with a pond of clear water in it. Some shady trees leaned over it, and
rushes and water-lilies grew at the deep end. Over the hedge on one side
we looked into a plowed field, and on the other we looked over a gate at
our master's house, which stood by the roadside; at the top of the meadow
was a grove of fir trees, and at the bottom a running brook overhung by a
steep bank.
While I was young I lived upon my mother's milk, as I could not eat
grass. In the daytime I ran by her side, and at night I lay down close by her.
When it was hot we used to stand by the pond in the shade of the trees,
and when it was cold we had a nice warm shed near the grove.
