Ben raced out of school. Christmas holidays! When he got home, he went to check on his pony, Scout. He slipped him a candy, and Scout nuzzled(用口鼻轻擦）his shoulder. Ben started toward the house and found his older brother Jack starting the snowmobile to deliver gas to Uncle Mike. Ben jumped on the back and joined him. They set off slowly. The snow was fresh and deep on the remote mountain path. When they arrived, Jack went over with the gas can. Ben looked up the mountain and saw something moving. He got binoculars(望远镜）and saw two animals. Could it be a horse? Jack climbed back on the snowmobile and asked Ben to leave. When Ben told Jack he saw horses up in the snowy trees, Jack didnt believe it. Ben looked back up the mountain, but he couldnt see anything. At dinner Ben told his father he saw two horses up on the mountain today. If they are horses, they must be trapped by all this snow. ” said his dad. “If theyre trapped, we have to do something,” said Ben, his voice rising. His dad looked at Jack. “Well, in the morning go and take a look. Take the gun and some hay(干草). If they look as if they can survive, give them the hay. If not...” Jack looked serious, and slowly nodded. Ben knew what the gun was for, and his chest went cold. In the morning, they set off in the cold snow. When they got to the place where Ben had seen the horses, they stopped and looked up using binoculars. No horses. They waited for a few minutes. “I see them. Theyre horses. Lets take the snowmobile up there. ” Ben suddenly exclaimed. They drove the snowmobile in the deep snow and finally reached the place. “Oh no!” said Ben. Theyre starving!” One of the horses had lost a lot of hair, and their tails were almost gone. Their eyes were lifeless and tired.
