The day she started saying please, thank you, and helping others out of her own free will, she found people were nicer. Now, with her bakery, she helped other youngsters learn what she did. And yes she did get a horse. When she saved up for it, bought it herself, and made sure she took very good care of it. -- Anon Guest
