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.
