Two months had passed since Star came to the estate she was feed the best grain and had freedom in the apple orchard. She would be often visited by the lady of the house who would take her out by a buggy.

She was happy until the son of her buyer can smiling saying " hey girl I was wrong you are beautiful " her head turned towards him her ears were perfectly perked. She was smiling in her eyes and to her it was a bond that could never be found. He gave
her a apple ripe and sweet she closed her eyes in pleasure.


A week passed and the bells rang from the church. A man shouted " these bells shall not ring until the war ends " Star was signed up to work as a pit pony for the mines and to plow a field for the war effort.

Her driver was kind and thoughtful Stan was his name and they were close she missed her real home. It was a heavy workload for her but she put her best effort to pull the cart for coal.

She never lost hope one day her driver was replaced he was unkind and pulled her mouth her load of coal was heavier than the ones she did with Stan. Alas her fair share of work was replacing heavy loads with more carts to pull. She was exhausted and
pulled her back despite her efforts the cart didn't even budge forwards. " Could you pull you pathetic pony!"

He shouted whipped her back the whip cracked sounding like snakes in her ear. She remembered her promise in life to try her best. She ignored the rude cries and started pulling soon the cart was moving at a steady pace.

She wanted her driver but he wasn't their but she did her best the whip lashed on her back landing heavily contacted her body. With each blow of the whip the contact made small marks and then turned into open wounds that never healed.
