"What is she saying?" Sarah Lee asked of her friends , Letty and Maria Elena, who also have owners that post on that thread. The two horses glanced at each other worriedly. "What?" Sarah Lee pleaded with a shrill, alarming neigh. "Please, tell me. What did she say?" Letty patted Sarah Lee on her wooly, rust colored wither as Maria Elena closed her big brown eyes, sighed and whispered in her dear friend's notched ear. " Sarah Lee....we could be wrong ..but you may be for sale again".
At that point the dog came trotting by. HJe was the Bad News Dog. He always brought bad news and sometimes it was true and sometimes it wasn't true but Sarah Lee never knew how to tell.
Bad News dog looked up at her with a nasty grin.
"I can read," he said. "And I know."
"You can't either," said Sarah Lee.
"Yes I can. Ha ha ha ha. They are sending you to the slaughterhouse at Belton. Ha ha ha."
"No!" said Sarah Lee.
"Yes. They are going to cut you up and send you to Belgium for steaks! Ha ha ha ha." And the Bad News Dog trotted off, very happy with himself.
