The king crouches down beside his daughter and puts his arm around her. "This filly is Amina's baby, Haya. The vet could not save the mare but he did everything he could so taht her foal might live."

This shivering bundle of fluff is Amina's daughter. She is three days old and she is an orphan.

"What do I have to do?" Haya asks shakily.

"Feed her, groom her, teach her manners. Teach her how to become a horse," her father says. "Sani and the grooms will help you, but she is your foal, Haya. You will be her mother now."
