Chapter two Foals in the Field page 9-10 

James looked pleased It took us forever to draw

that map He said, We're putting all the farms and houses we've studying on it. They're all at least a hundred years old.

Dr. Adam turned the Land Rover onto a 

farm road. Drysdales is certainly old he said, 
It's been in Nick's family for generation . 

The Summereses have always raised horses there. But by the time Nick's family for the time Nick took on  the farms was falling to pieces. How come asked James. Dr. Adam shruggled I don't know the whole story.   he admitted There was a terrible fire at the farm about abandoned. Then Nick arrived about 

a year back and said he was going to a 

start for rasing horses again. It sounds as though that would be a really interesting story

for our project James said thoughtlly. Mandy's thoughts were elsewhere what happened to the horses she asked. What horses her dad said. The ones that were there when the fire happened  said Mandy. Dr. Adam smiled That's just like you Mandy he said You always think about the animals don't you. Of course said Mandy Animals are important 

You could ask Grandpa all about it Dr. Adam said He bound to remember the fire. Good idea said James.
