The Adventure of Tim and Star: The Rescue of the Princes Once upon a time in a small village, there was a young boy named Tim. Tim loved animals, especially horses. He often dreamed of having his very own horse to explore the countryside. One sunny morning, as Tim walked through the fields near his home, he saw a wild horse watching him from a distance. The horse had a shiny brown coat and a long black mane that danced in the wind. Tim named him Star because of the white star-shaped spot on his forehead. Tim approached Star slowly, speaking softly and gently. To his surprise, Star didn't run away. Instead, Star looked curiously at Tim and even took a few steps forward. Tim held out his hand, and Star nuzzled against it happily. From that moment, the two became friends. Every day after school, Tim would visit Star, bringing him apples and carrots.
