Book Cover & Preview Text
Ginger flung her long dark mane, thinking, "This grass is the best, it's so sweet and crunchy! I'm going to stay here and eat it before the others find it." Even though her stomach churned and tightened, she kept eating. Snowy Dove landed next to her ear. "Why are you still eating?" "Because I'm so hungry!" lied Ginger. Ginger tried to take another bite, but her stomach hurt too much. Snowy Dove frowned and flew back to his favorite tree where he watched the ponies. Ginger snorted. "Well, I could be hungry if the other ponies ate all the grass." She tried to pretend she didn't see grass everywhere as she trudged toward Whirly Hill.
