Newborn I am a foal, a newborn pony. My legs are very wobbly.

My mother feeds me her warm milk as soon as I struggle to my feet.

I feel stronger after my milk. I can stand up tall.

h e t w m o e d a n I I am one week old. I grow bigger every day.

I spend my days in the meadow with my mother.

I cuddle close to her when the wind blows.

I love feeling the soft grass beneath my hooves.

y m m o Looking for M I am two weeks old. I have two new teeth. I want to show my mother.

Where is she? I neigh loudly to her.

I hope she hears me.

Soon my mother comes. She is never very far away.

Come and play Today will be a fun day! A friend has come to play.

I am five weeks old.

We play games and run around the field.

When we are tired, we graze together. The fresh grass tastes sweet.

Running and jumping makes me hungry.

Look at these crunchy red apples. They smell yummy. I wonder if I can eat one?
