"Bonnie the Colt" 

Bonnie was a adorable little colt. When she was born, she felt like red velvet. And she played. She jumped. She ran as fast as her adorable little legs could carry her. Yes, she was a adorable little colt, and she was one of the prettyest colts. One day, her uncles and aunts moved to another place, and Bonnie and her family had to move too. They ran far away from all of Bonnie's friends. A tear ran down her cheek. 

"Mommy, why do we have to move so far away from all of my friends, and nearer to other colts that there's a chance I'll never make friends with?" 

"We need to move nearer to my family."

Then her mom saw a tear on her velvety nose. "Don't cry now, Bonnie. You are 6 years old. You are a big girl." 

But Bonnie knew she would have to get use to a new school, get use to being so far away from her friends, and try to make new friends She thought she was never going to like it. She thought she was never going to make new friends, so far away from her old friends. 

When she got a new school, she made friends with a young colt named Sam. At recess after some playing together with another colt, Sam said that everyone wanted to play with him, so he didn't want to play with her anymore. Bonnie understood. After Sam dashed off, it was time to end recess. 

"What's your name?" Bonnie asked the other colt. 

"My name is Creed." he said. That was how Bonnie got her new best friend. After that, Bonnie had a great day at school, but she was thankful when it was time to go home. 

"How was school?" asked her mom.

"It was great," said Bonnie. "And I learned a lot and I made some new friends." Then she smiled. "My best friend," she said "is a boy named Creed!" and Bonnie had a amazing first grade. And when it was summer Bonnie couldn't wait till she would see her best friend again.
