Me：Hello， Television Viewers! I am Aziza Bellamy，and thanks for watching．I want to especially thank you，Ms．Bertha，for agreeing to this interview on live television．It's a pleasure to meet you，the first﹣known transgalactic visitor to Earth，Now， I understand that you are from a planet called Zadernol？
Bertha：Just call me Miss Bertha or Bertha，please，but not "Ms．"
Me：Okay，sorry about that．So，you've been on Earth for about a week now．What have been your biggest disappointments or challenges so far？
Bertha：It's not the worst planet I've ever been to．Mercury was much worse．The aliens﹣oops，I mean humans， have been unkind，overall．The family I'm staying with，for example，were nice at first．But now they roll their eyes whenever I open my mouth to say anything．They're not interested in any of my stories．And I think they may be trying to avoid me．Worst of all，they make me wash my own dishes and bathe myself．They're so rude．
Me：Oh，um…wow．That's just…
Bertha：I am used to having high standards when I choose where to stay，by the way．I have stayed with royalty and presidents on other planes．And they all adored（崇拜） me and begged me not to leave．But I gave this human family a chance to host me．I mean，really，they should be grateful that I selected them，of all the people on Earth， to wash my clothes and cook my meals and entertain（款待） me．
Me：Well， what you're saying is surprising，Bertha．Do you think it's possible that this family just wants you to pitch in a little， to be a good guest？
Bertha：It's odd to me that you're not agreeing with me．If you were smarter，you'd agree with me．That's another thing．Everyone Zadernol is smarter than the smartest person on Earth．Earth is below me．
Me：You know what，Bertha？I'm staring to see why you're so unhappy here on Earth．You're just a boastful（自夸的） ， spoiled alien．

A horse fair is an interesting place． There were young horses from the country， little Welsh ponies and many beautiful horses too． But there were also a lot of poor， thin horses， tired from hard work． I was very sad to see them．
At the horse fair there was a man with a gentle voice and kind grey eyes． He offered 23 pounds for me， but they refused． Then a man with a very loud voice came． I was afraid he was going to buy me， but he walked off． Then the grey﹣eyed man came back again and said：
"I'll give 24 for him．"
"Done，"said the salesman．"He's a quality horse and if you want him for cab（出租马车）work，he's a bargain．"
Half an hour later we set off for London，along country roads，until we came to that great city．There were streets to the right， and streets to the left． We went into one of the small streets， and then into a very narrow street， with small， old houses．
My owner stopped at a house． The door opened， and a woman， a little girl and boy， came out．
"Is he gentle， father？"
"Yes， Dolly， as gentle as a kitten； you can pat him．"
Dolly， the little girl， patted my shoulder without fear． It felt so good! They led me into a comfortable， clean stable， and after a delicious meal I lay down to sleep， thinking "I'm going to be very happy here"．
My new owner's name was Jerry． His wife was called Polly and they had two children， Harry and Dolly． The next morning they came to see me． I loved it when they patted me and spoke in gentle voices．
"Le's call him 'Jack'， after the old horse， shall we， Harry？" said Dolly．
"Yes， let's，"said Harry．
The first week of my life as Jack，the London cab horse was very hard． The noise and the people and the traffic on the streets scared me． But Jerry was a very good driver， and that helped a lot． Jerry soon found that I was ready to work hard and do my best， and he didn't whip（鞭打） me．
He kept us very clean， and gave us as much food as we wanted． But the best thing was that we had Sundays of．
