"I'm all right," she answered.

"I fell soft.

You see, I'm very light." "No bones broken?

She sat erect, drawing away from his arms and the support of his knee.
"Don't you see my legs and arms are all right! Help me up, please," she added, and stretched out a hand.
Then, all at once, she saw the horse lying near.

Again she shivered, and her hand was thrown out in a gesture of pain.
"Oh, see-see!" she cried.

"His leg is broken." She loved animals far more than human beings.
