Episode 122: Mucking out

Instructor:	Horses have thick coats so you can brush quite hard, do you see? Do you want to try Ellie?
Ellie:	Yes please. Oh Alice, isn’t Dusty’s coat gorgeous?
Alice:	It certainly is and you’re grooming her really well.
Ellie:	Alice, can I ask you something?
Alice:	Course you can my dear.
Ellie:	Do you like me?
Alice:	Oh Ellie I think you’re a lovely, smart, brave girl.
Ellie:	It’s just that I was a bit naughty when you were baby-sitting me. My daddy told me off and I thought maybe you’d fallen out with me.
Alice:	Well I was angry with you, that’s true.
Ellie:	Does that mean you’re not my friend?
Alice:	No Ellie, it’s just that …
Ellie:	I’m sorry I was rude to you.
