Henry the Horse

Henry the Horse was constantly being bullied by the mustangs and other stallions at the horse farm.  When they were in the stable, the neighboring horses would pee on his hay, and when they were in the corral, they would kick dirt in his face and make fun of his skinny physique and thin mane.  One day Henry decided to run away.  He made a break for it when the corral gate was closing, headed across the meadow, and barely cleared the three foot fence at the edge of the property.  It started to rain, but just when he was almost out of energy he saw a gray metal building which might have shelter.  He made it to the building and slept just under the eave.  In the morning, some humans found him and he heard them say, “He seems to be stray, we better take care of him,” which really lifted his spirits until everything went black and he was made into ground meat for $1.99 a pound.  Other horses got $2.99 a pound, but not Henry.
