Have you ever seen a huge horse? It seems that one giant horse was born in July. Her parents named her Sunny. She could talk, play, and even laugh! Sunny chuckled all day, combed her hair, and talked on the phone with her hooves. One day, though, her horse neighbors complained about how she was so loud and shook the ground.

“Go away, go away!” they chanted.
“We don’t want you to stay!”  

So Sunny’s parents ventured to the desert and placed her there. “Here, Sunny,” they said. They gave her food, water for hydration, and some other necessities, like clothing, her favorite hairbrush, and her blow dryer, all in a huge sack. With that, Sunny’s parents left. 

Sunny whimpered and whined all day for her parents. Oh, how she wished she could see them! After whimpering and whining, she cried a whole river and soon was swimming in it. Sunny used her sense of danger and grabbed onto a spiky cactus. It gave her a few splinters, but she didn’t mind. That was when she learned how to survive on cacti and the food and water placed in her sack. 

……………….

Sunny was twenty six years old. She grew in human age instead of horse age, so she could live up to be 100 years old! Or even 200! Sunny wandered around the desert, looking for some yummy cacti. She then saw them: a swarm of bees who looked hungry. They were as big as Sunny! Sunny sensed danger once again and ran away immediately until she reached a dense forest with tropical fruit.

“Ah! This is paradise!” she exclaimed, and she reached up for a brightly yellow banana. “Mmm!” Sunny peeled the banana and ate it in one bite because her mouth was so large. 

She caught sight of a spider. The tiny thing said, “Well, hello!” “Hi! My name is Sunny! What’s yours?” the horse asked. “I’m George! Do you want to be friends?” the spider replied. “Yes, please!” Sunny answered happily. And with those words, they became best friends in the jungle. You might say it’s strange, weird, and unusual. Well, that’s nature!
