There stood a little pony.

He had a glossy brown coat and a white star on his forehead.

"Oh! oh!" cried Boy Blue. "Is this pony for me?"

"Yes, my boy, it is for your very own."

"What a beautiful pony! What is his name, Papa?"

"I do not know his name."

[!--IMG--]

"You must name him yourself."

"'Star' would be a good name,—or I might call him 'Brownie.'
