Ben and the Missing Pony

Overview

When Ben and C.W. discover an injured pony, they shelter the horse in an abandoned barn. Then the boys feed, water, and bandage the pony’s wounds. Finally, they decide to keep the horse. After all, whoever owned the horse before didn’t take care of it.

When the two friends discover the pony was probably stolen, they must make a decision. Keep their secret, or return the horse to its owner.
