"The horse wouldn't stop. It ran and ran. Mum ran after it."(p. 18)

Biff wanted to help Mum, so she picked up apples. The apples are bad. She put them in the box. Then a man with a horse and cart came down the street. "It's Harry Smith," said Chip. Everyone liked Harry Smith. He made people laugh. He sold things from his cart. Biff and Chip gave Harry's horse some apples. The horse ate the box of apples. Biff told Harry Smith about the horse. He laughed, and said "I didn't know she liked rotten apples." The children wanted a ride. They climbed on the cart.The horse began to run, and couldn't stop. It ran into a car park. The horse began to sway. It made a funny noise. "The rotten apples made the horse drunk," Harry said. Biff was sorry. But he didn't mind. People came to see the horse, they bought things from the cart. Harry sold everything. He gave the children a present.
