"Hello, Tom!" greeted the mayor of the town one early bright morning. "I'm glad everything's alright—I've heard about your recent success, you know, and everyone in town has nothing but nice things to say! I'm pleased with your progress."

"I've also heard," interrupted Dumbledore, "that you seem to be extending your farm into ranching."
He sighed tiredly. "What of it?" And when can you leave?
Dumbledore smiled. "A gift, for your recent achievements."
Tom was left staring dumbfounded at a foal.
