For Jane's ninth birthday, Grandma
Aggie surprises her with a pony named
Popcorn. He was born on the very
same day as Jane and grew up doing
pretty much whatever he wanted to do.
Popcorn is a challenge even for
experienced
riders. He doesn’t like being told
where and when to run and jump. Jane
falls off him again and again, but she
is determined to stay on the saddle.
Read this funny “battle of the wills”
story to see if Jane ever learns how to
control Popcorn.
