15、k horses should be treated like this.SamDear Sam,Thanks for taking an interest in these horses. Problems about the care of horses are different from cats and dogs.

25、uld pay for the cost. The man thanked her and the son got to keep a healthy cat.I always thought it was the right thing to help out a needy person，but I only saw people do acts of kindness on TV or in movies.
