Ride a Cock-Horse

One fine day, a young lady wanted to go to Branbury Cross to see her sister. She was getting ready to go for a long journey. She prepared herself for this journey.

First, she saddled up her white horse. Next, she dressed up and wore rings on her fingers. Then, she tied tiny bells to her shoes so that the bells tinkled as she rode the horse. Once it was done, she climbed onto the horse and rode off.

In the evening, she reached her sister’s home. She was glad that she did not fall asleep while riding her horse. The tiny bells kept her awake and alert.

Moral of the story :

Be fully prepared for a long journey to avoid problems and disappointments. Otherwise, you will be short of the most required things. To avoid dangers, you had better go prepared.

Rock-a-bye Baby
