Walking with mama by my side
'showing me the grasses that I could eat. When on the horizon a mob of brumbies appeared mama whispered softly, hide in the grass son and hide your ears. I lay in the grass the sun was warm and I fell asleep when I awoke mama was gone. Hungry and thirsty I called out for her but all I could hear was the wind. Tired, hungry I lay down closing my eyes that's when I saw two sparkling stars looking at me and a soft voice putting me to sleep. The two sparkling stars I saw are Ian's eyes he had picked me up and brought me to Bililuna and put me on a carpet of green grass.

We've done the best we can for him but now he's growing very weak Please help: what can we do? Donations for specialised formula were called for from brumby supporters in the land and they didn't disappoint. For Billy who is now called Roi, is living in Broome and he has found a friend called River, who is so enchanted with Roi's ears, that whenever he gets the chance, he nibbles them. |
