The Story of Misty

Misty is a wild pony who lives on Assateague Island, a barrier island off the coast of Virginia. She is a beautiful pony, with a long mane and tail and a gentle spirit. However, she is also very wild and independent, and she does not trust humans.

One day, a young boy named Paul Beebe comes to Assateague Island on vacation. He sees Misty and is immediately fascinated by her. He tries to approach her, but she runs away. Paul does not give up, however. He spends the next few days trying to gain Misty's trust, and eventually, she begins to let him pet her.

Paul's family is not happy about his friendship with Misty. They are afraid that she is dangerous, and they do not want him to get hurt. However, Paul knows that Misty is a good pony, and he is determined to protect her.

One day, a storm hits Assateague Island. The storm is very strong, and it causes the ponies to panic. Misty is swept away by the waves, and Paul thinks that she is lost. However, Paul does not give up hope. He searches for Misty for days, and eventually, he finds her safe and sound.

Paul brings Misty back to his family's house, and they take care of her until she is well enough to return to the wild. Paul is sad to see Misty go, but he knows that she is where she belongs.
