The Colt Bolts

A colt was playing in a patch of green grass.

And then all of a sudden, the colt felt cold. He felt a shiver running down his back.

The colt jolted up, and then bolted away.

Why did he run? Was it a witch?

No. His dad told him to halt. He told the colt to relax. It was just the wind. The colt can go back to munching on the grass. ------------------------------- Explain It

Now have your child answer a couple questions about the story:

  1. Why did the colt run?

  2. What does the word "bolted" mean in the story?
