Madison
stared
through
the
window
and
watched
a
puffy
white
cloud
pass
over
the
woods
across
from
the
school. It
must
be
wonderful
to
be
a
bird,she
thought. Total
freedom. No
math
class
to
sit
in,
and
her
days
would
be
spent
on
horseback. She
thought
of
her
horse,Star.
“Madison,
could
you
please
join
us
again?”
Mrs
Smith
said.
“ I
was
just
asking
the
class
if
anyone
had
any
problems
with
the
homework
assignment. ”
“Well,
I
didnt
have
any
problems
doing
it,
but
I
had
problems
remembering
to
put
it
in
my
school
bag
after
I
did
it. ”
Some
giggling
spread
through
the
room.
“Madison,
I
dont
know
what
I
am
going
to
do
with
you. Youre
such
a
smart
girl
but
you
just
dont
apply
yourself. Class, clear
your
desks. Our
guest
is
here
and
welcome
Doctor
Landon. He
is
a
veterinarian
(兽医) . He
came
here
today
as
part
of
our
continued
Career
Explorations
Program. ”
Madison
tried
to
focus
as
Doctor
Landon
talked
about
how
important
grades
were
and
how
he
struggled
with
math
when
he
was
a
kid. Doctor
Landon
was
still
talking
but
she
lost
track
of
what
he
was
saying. Then
a
word
caught
her
attention—
horse. Was
he
talking
about
horses?
Gradually,Madison
knew
Doctor
Landon
had
come
to
her
town
and
house
when
her
horse,Star,
needed
care. She
liked
it
that
he
even
knew
her
horses
name.
“So,you
just
travel
around
and
take
care
of
horses
all
day
long?”
Doctor
Landon
nodded.
“ I
travel
with
my
truck
to
take
care
of
horses
and
ponies
across
the
c
