Oakley's Pony Farm

One sunny morning in Missouri, Oakley woke up excited to play with her favorite pony, Sparkle. But when she arrived at the pony farm, Sparkle was nowhere to be found. Oakley looked everywhere but couldn't find her pony. She felt very worried. Oakley knew she had to find Sparkle.

Oakley decided to ask her little sisters, Bellamy and Willow, if they had seen Sparkle. But neither of them knew where Sparkle was. Oakley didn't give up and started searching the farm. She looked in the barn and behind the haystacks. Still, no sign of Sparkle.

Oakley then thought about asking her friends in the village. She asked Mrs. Thompson at the bakery, but Mrs. Thompson hadn't seen Sparkle either. Oakley also asked Mr. Brown, who was fixing his tractor. But Mr. Brown didn't know where Sparkle was.

Feeling very sad, Oakley sat under her favorite oak tree. She began to wonder if she would ever find Sparkle. Oakley felt like giving up. She thought, 'Maybe Sparkle is gone forever.' Tears started to fill her eyes.

Just then, Oakley's Grandpa Joe came by. He saw Oakley was upset and asked her what was wrong. Oakley told him about Sparkle. Grandpa Joe said, 'Let's think like Sparkle. Where would she go?' Oakley remembered Sparkle loved the meadow by the river.

Oakley and Grandpa Joe went to the meadow by the river. There, they found Sparkle happily munching on the grass. Oakley ran to Sparkle and hugged her tightly. She realized that being patient and asking for help was important. Oakley and Sparkle walked back to the farm, happy and together.
