Crystal the Snow Pony Page 4

“Did you enjoy your ride on the carousel?” Jane asked.

  “Oh yes! It was wonderful!” Emily beamed at her sister, knowing that she could never tell her what had really happened. Jane would never believe that she’d gone on a magical pony ride to a land of ice and snow and helped rescue a mountain village from an avalanche! But Emily knew it had happened. Her beautiful, brave Crystal had been real, and she would never forget their time together.
