Father gave him to me, and the first time I saw him on his feet, I went up carefully and put my hand on him.

His mother was rather shy of me, for we hadn't had her long, and it made him shy too, so I soon left him.

The next time I stroked him; the next time I put my arm around him.

Soon he acted like a big dog.

I could lead him about by a strap, and I made a little halter and a bridle for him.
