Download or read book The Story of a White Rocking Horse written by Laura Lee Hope and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-07-24 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[...] White Rocking Horse. "I haven't the least idea," was the answer. "But I know one thing: I am very sorry to leave you, my friends. We have had some jolly times together. Only think-last night the Elephant and I were having a friendly race!" "Yes, and I wish I could have seen the finish of it," said the Bold Tin Soldier. "I am sure you would have won. A Rocking Horse is always faster than an Elephant." "I am not so sure about that," said the Monkey on a Stick. "I believe the Elephant would have beaten." "Well, we can't have the race now, that's sure," neighed the Horse. "I shall soon be leaving you." "Maybe I could race with the Elephant," suggested the woolly Lamb. "I have wheels on, and if the Elephant wears his roller skates that will make us both even. We could have the race to-night, perhaps." "Well, I hope you have jolly times when I am gone," said the White Rocking Horse. "Try to amuse yourselves." "We will," answered the Calico Clown. "But perhaps you will come back to see us, as the Sawdust Doll once did." "I'm afraid not," neighed the Horse. "You see, the Sawdust Doll came back because the little girl, whose mother bought the toy, carried the Doll in her arms. But I am too big to be carried in a boy's arms." "Yes, that is so," agreed the Bold Tin Soldier. "Horses have to travel along by themselves, or else ride in autos. But perhaps, my dear friend, you may get a chance to gallop back here to see us some night." "I should like to," the White Rocking Horse said; "but I don't see how it can be done. Some one would be sure to be looking." "Hush! Quiet, everybody!" whispered the Calico Clown. "The man is coming back!" And back he came, having finished looking at the checkers and dominoes. The young lady clerk also returned, with some large sheets of wrapping paper and a ball of string. The toys could talk among themselves no longer, but of course they could still think, and each one who was to be left behind thought how lonesome it would be with the White Rocking Horse gone. As for that wonderful chap, he was soon covered from the sight of his friends in the wrappings of paper. One sheet was put over his head, so he could see nothing more. Then his body and legs were wrapped in other papers, and the red saddle and bridle of real leather were covered up, as were the mane and tail of real hair. "There, I think he will ride very nicely in my auto now," said the man, as he paid the clerk for the White Rocking Horse. Then the man carried the Horse down in the elevator. At first it made the White Rocking Horse a little dizzy to be carried down in the elevator. He had not ridden in one for a long time-not since he was first brought to the big store from the Land of the North Pole, where he had been made in the work-shop of Santa Claus. Then the White[...]".

He wins, wins and just keeps winning. But, as quickly as he hands her the money, Hester has splurged it away.
