Chapter 1

Nathanael has decided that he likes writing.  He's been working on a short story at home, and brought me the first few pages to look over.  I thought that it was so sweet I wanted to share it with you all, and I left it exactly as he wrote it, without any corrections.

Chapter 1 (part 1)

One summer morning a boy went out to feed his horse.  The boy's name was David, and he had only a horse.  He lived alone and had not friends.  As he fed his horse he did not notice the man that walked up.  That is a fine horse, said the man.  Startled by the voice David jumped back.  How did you find me?  He asked the man.  That's not important, but what is important is the fact that I want to buy your horse.  He's mine, David snapped, and you can't have him.  Then I'll tell the orfanage you're here.   David was speech less.  I'lll give you tell tomorrow to change your mind.  With that he walked away.  During lunch David thaught about what the man had said.  Maybe I can run away, and that's exactly what  he did.  First, he packed his food, blankets and his fathers riffle.  He had goten the riffle when his father died.  It was the only thing left to remind him of them.  That is whey he will always tresure it.  Then he got rid of all the signs he had been there, hoped on his horse and rode into the brush.  As he galuped through the brush he noticed how much wild life there was.  Squrles, birds and other creatures jumped and scuried away as he rode forward.
