This story start with a homeless young boy telling a tall gentleman
the good thing and bad things about being small.One good thing is that people often mistake me for being much younger than I am and that makes them take pity on me.Especially the women,the ones that have their own children  at home . And especially the poor ones,who know there isn't much keeping their own little ones from begging in the streets like me.Not that i'm begging now,sir. I wouldn't want you to think that, not for a minute.-The young boy said.
   One day I ended up begging far from the center of the city,it was cold,miserable day that couldn't decide whether it wanted to rain or snow.I had pair of boots once but they were so often wet that the nails came through and it was like trying to walk on a pair of hedgehogs,and that is the truth sir - the young boy said.
I led another lad steal them off for me just for the pleasure of hearing him howl when he put them on.
 After that he was hungry,barefoot almost frozen.He was walking through a street which didn't have  much traffic, it was one of those streets with pigs and muddy little streets. No one had a coin or crust of bread to spare for him and he thought it was going to be a bad day from him until round the corner he cam,a tall man with a big black horse and all the chicken and pigs ran away from him even the young boy took a step back from him,he was breathing hard there were tear tracks on his face.He looked wild and mad and the sight of him terrified the boy.And then when he cam off the horse he gently said (hold the horse for me lad) and when I come back I will give u a reward he said that with ruffling the boys head .The boy felt the kindness he never felt in a while and that why he did like the gentleman asked. It was a cold day the boys was really hungry but full of satisfaction, I don't know if that makes any sense.
two girls were passing by with a basket of bread in their hands and they were attracted to the horse so they came and started looking at the horse and the young boy said go away it is my masters horse you can't touch it .The girls offered a loaf of bread for him and he took the offer because he was so hungry.Afterwards the boy told them not to tell anybody about this .
The Gentleman was gone for a long time now the boy started being anxious for him to come back. The street was empty for a while but then a man started coming closer to the horse, he didn't say a word for a while he was just looking and examining the horse ,who does it belong to he said, he looked old and he had lost most of his teeth and his speech wasn't clear .The boy said none of your business.
How much is it worth he asked, the boy was tempted by how much of the reward can be but also he promised to obey that gentlemen who was going to give him his reward .After a while toothless and someone else came and started walking towards me the other man looked like a gentleman but afterwards  found out that he wasn't he asked about how much is the horse an he offered alot of money for it but the boy said it's not my horse it's my masters and I would never sell it no matter what. Then they started pushing him on the ground but they started running away from boy, the boy didn't understand until he saw the kings soldiers that were riding their horses through the streets until they saw the boys horse. The Captain came off the horse and started asking the boy who's horse is this ? the boys answer was my masters . Who is your master the captain asked the boy? you will see when he comes back . Afterwards The captain cleared the streets, ordered his soldiers to be alone with the boy. The captain asked the boy : Have you ever heard of a fellow named Dick Turpin? of course I have the boy answered, well the captain said Dick Turpin is the Gentleman who gave you the horse . The boy stared at the captain while a hundred new thoughts were charging around his head . And the horse is none other than Black Bess- The Captain said .
Wait here with Black bess until Dick Turpin comes back and we shall give you a reward for it.
The boy was so tired,he was wishing that this never happened to him,and a couple of hours later the Captain came back and told the boy that they have found Dick Turpin and they are going to hang him the next day. The boy asked the captain. Am I gonna get my reward ? The Captain pushed the boy off the horse while laughing .
The boy quickly got on the horse and started running away from the soldiers and especially their Captain. Finally  the boy found a shelter for him and the horse because they had to spend the night there. Days have passed, the boy was hungry ,the horse was hungry, both were tired . The boy was trying to sell the horse because then it would be good for both of them ,but no one believed the boy because there were people trying to impersonate another black horse saying it's the Great Black Bess.
   This is the story of the boy. In my opinion they should have changed the part where they were going to hang Dick turpin,instead of that Dick Turpin should have came back and saved the boy and lived with him.
 What I learned from the story is that you should take your chances while you still have them ...
