Orson is a brave cowboy in a warm desert land.
He wears a wide brown hat on his head.
He wears soft boots and carries a rope.
He loves his horse friend.
The horse is white with a long mane.
The horse’s name is Star.
Orson calls him Star the horse.
They walk under the bright sun.
The desert is full of sand dunes.
The wind blows warm on their faces.
Orson and Star ride slowly.
They share water from a small bottle.
They laugh and sing a soft song.
“Neigh neigh,” says Star with joy.
Orson smiles and pats his friend.
Suddenly Star stops and looks.
Star snorts and lifts his head.
Orson asks, “What do you see?”
Star whinnies and looks far.
A gray wolf prowls on a dune.
The wolf’s eyes are sharp.
Star trembles and hides.
Orson knows he must be brave.
He steps forward with care.
The wolf growls softly.
Orson speaks in a calm voice.
“Hello, Mr Wolf,” he says kindly.
The wolf watches the cowboy.
Orson reaches into his bag.
He takes out a crunchy carrot.
He holds it out for the wolf.
The wolf sniffs the bright carrot.
The wolf takes it with his teeth.
The wolf chews and stops growling.
Orson steps near Star the horse.
Star is timid but safe.
Orson pats Star and whispers.
Star moves close to Orson.
The wolf feels full and calm.
Orson and Star walk past him.
They cross the sandy hills.
The sun begins to set low.
Colors turn pink and orange.
Orson feels happy inside.
Star neighs in a gentle tone.
They find a small cave.
Inside is a shiny star stone.
The stone glows in the dusk.
Orson and Star look in wonder.
Orson says, “This is our treasure.”
Star nudges the stone with his nose.
They pick up the glowing rock.
Orson smiles under his hat.
He ties the stone in his bag.
They ride home with soft steps.
The dunes look golden at sunset.
The stars appear in the sky.
Orson and Star point at the lights.
They feel safe and proud.
Orson whispers, “We did it.”
Star neighs in agreement and joy.
They reach their small camp.
Orson shares warm cocoa.
Star drinks cool water.
They place the star stone near camp.
It glows softly through the night.
Orson says, “Good night, friend.”
Star lowers his head and sleeps.
The wolf watches from afar.
He smiles and lies down too.
The desert night is calm.
The moon shines bright above.
Orson dreams of new journeys.
Star dreams of green meadows.
They wake with a happy heart.
