Sample answer: Black Beauty’s in
                          today's life.

        My name is Black Beauty.

I am a horse. In the past, my friend

and I are used as transportation

to human. However, with the
technology today, they had
invented car to replace us. Now,
I am no longer work to carry

heavy load, but being used as

recreational activity for human. I am

working at Ferringhi Beach in Penang

Island. My duty is to ride one-two

passenger to go along the beach.

I am happy with my life today

because I give a lot of income to

my owner, Ahmad. Hence, he treats

me very well. I hope I could work

with Ahmad until the end of my life.
