Have you ever seen a horse with toes(脚趾)? Millions of years ago, horses had many toes. They had four toes on each front foot. They had three toes on each back foot. The horses were smaller than cats.
These small horses lived in the forest. Their many toes helped the horses run over the soft wet ground.
It was very hot in the forest. But the weather changed. It became cold. Many trees couldn't live in cold weather. The trees died and fell. Open field took the place of(代替) forests. The sun made the ground dry and hard(坚硬).
Horses began to change too. They began to get bigger. This took a long time. On the dry hard land, horses needed only their middle toes for running. Their middle toes became hard. After a long time horses had only one hard toe on each foot. We call this hard toe a hoof(马蹄).

(二) Holiday Ride
A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office a street urchin(顽童) was walking around a shining car. ―Is this your car, Paul?‖ he asked.
Paul answered,―Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas.‖The boy was surprised.―You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn't cost you anything. Boy, I wish…‖ He hesitated(犹豫).
Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly.
―I wish,‖the boy went on,―that I could be a brother like that.‖Paul looked at the boy in surprise, then he said again,―Would you like to take a ride in my car?‖ ―Oh, yes, I'd love that.‖
After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said，―Paul, would you mind driving in front of my house?‖
Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again,―Will you stop where those two steps are?‖the boy asked.
