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.
