Daddy carried His little one out of the nursery, the little colt Squirming to be let down white fur ruffled against daddy's arms. The little thing was so excited he almost fell from the adults arms as he was set down. " Whoa their TreBor whats your hurry?" The little colt began to rapidly crawl exploring wide eyed the room and all the seeming endless wonders and unknowns of the new area.

Soon having found and tasted a chair leg carpet and daddy's leg,( Just to contrast with the chairs) TreBor found himself seated by the living rooms potted plant eyeing up the strange object. Reaching in to poke at the brown stuff he found it pleasing to the touch kinda like sand at the beach but dusty. Grabbing himself a handful he lifted it up for closer inspection as daddy asked. " You going to try eating that?"

Before daddy had said anything the thought hadn't even entered the colts mind. Now starring down at the dirt crumbling in his little fists The little one thought. " Why would daddy ask that if it wasn't edible?" Believing he had been given the inside information on a possible new treat TreBor brought the dirt to his muzzle and nomed it bringing a mouthful of the brown substance into contact with his tongue.

A cross look flashed over the baby's face and he munched down again turning to look at daddy who sported a bemused smirk on his face. This didn't taste good this wasn't food, slowly his eyes watered face turning red at the clear betrayal. His muzzled opened and he wailed fat tears rolling down his face as daddy came over tutting. " Shhh shh hey hey didn't taste good did it its okay." Using the corner of his shirt he cleaned out the little ones muzzle between sobbing fits and lifted him heading for the kitchen to get him some proper food.



P.S. This was based on a real life event in my early years that my father caught on camera.
