The Chosen Colt Mary Fals

Publisher Marketing: This story is about a small colt name Tiny. One day he was taken to the nearby town and sold to the local storeowner by the farmer. Tiny wondered why he was being sold, was he too small to do chores on the farm? After being left in the city all alone, he met other animals. Tiny listened to them talk about the great things they had been chosen to do and wondered if he would ever be chosen to do anything that would make someone listen to him. "I am so small no one will ever want to use me, even the farmer thought I was too small to do chores." As the horses stood talking to one another, two men came and untied the reins to the colt. "Our master has need of you," they said. Tiny wondered what a master needed him for. But he walked along hoping he would be big enough to do whatever it was. Tiny met Jesus that day and his life was changed. Jesus had chosen the colt for a special task. Tiny didn't feel so small after he had helped Jesus. Later that day, the colt returned to the town where his friends were, and this time Tiny was doing most of the talking about his trip and how he helped Jesus. The storeowner walked over to the horses and untied Tiny's reins. He handed the reins to a man name Simon and after the supplies were loaded on Tiny's back they headed off to Jerusalem and the adventure continues.
