are wild animals, but their lives and destinies are described in such a way that it is, rather, human attitudes towards them that appear wild. The animals themselves are depicted not only with sympathy, but also with truly human warmth: they are given names, their relationships resemble family bonds, and they are willing to sacrifice themselves - for each other or for a noble cause.

The wild mustang cannot imagine life in captivity and chooses the final leap from a steep cliff… The book is intended for developing reading skills in English for students of the 5th-6th grades of a general education school. It contains an English-Russian dictionary of words and expressions that may pose difficulties when reading. Adaptation and dictionary by V. B. Filimonov.
