Jasmine and the Jumping Pony - Bonnie Bryant
1 A Busy Breakfast
Jasmine James finished brushing her long blond hair for school. She turned and looked again at the large poster lying on her desk.
For the past month, Jasmine’s class at school had studied dinosaurs. Jasmine’s teacher had asked each student to do a final project showing what he or she had learned.
Jasmine had decided to draw a poster that showed the different types of dinosaurs. Because she loved ponies, and loved to draw them, too, she also knew how to draw other animals.
The poster was divided into several sections. One section showed that some dinosaurs had skeletons that looked like the skeletons of birds and others had skeletons that looked like the skeletons of lizards. Another section showed that some dinosaurs were meat-eaters and others ate only plants. Everything was labeled in Jasmine’s neat handwriting.
Jasmine had used every single color in her marker set and worked for hours and hours on her poster. Looking at it, she knew she had done a good job. But she felt slightly flat inside. She wasn’t sure why. Then she heard her mother calling from downstairs.
Jasmine, your breakfast is ready!
Mrs. James said.
Jasmine called back, Be right down, Mom!
She carefully rolled up her poster and taped a large piece of paper around it so that it wouldn’t get dirty on the bus ride to school. Then she paused. If her poster was rolled up, her parents wouldn’t be able to see it at breakfast.
Then she remembered what breakfast was usually like these days. It was total chaos!
Lately, Jasmine’s parents were so busy that they rushed through breakfast with Jasmine and Sophie, her baby sister, before hurrying off to work. Mrs. James, who was an artist, had missed a conference with Jasmine’s teacher two days ago because Sophie had been slightly feverish that day. Now Mrs. James was working days and nights in her studio. She was trying to get ready for an exhibition in which her work would be shown along with the work of several other artists.
Mr. James, who worked for an environmental group, also seemed busier than usual. He was spending a lot of time at his office in Washington, D.C., and in his study at home. When he wasn’t working, he took care of Sophie so that Mrs. James could get her work done.
Somehow Jasmine didn’t feel right reminding her father that he had promised to take her and her two best friends, May and Corey, to a movie tonight.
Jasmine looked at her rolled-up poster again. They’re probably too busy—I’ll show it to them some other time,
she told herself. She picked up the poster and her school bag and went downstairs.
On the way to the kitchen, Jasmine remembered something that cheered her up. Last night, May had called her and summoned the three Pony Tails—May, Jasmine, and Corey—to riding practice after school today.
The three girls called themselves the Pony Tails because they were best friends who loved to ride ponies. They lived next door to each other and belonged to the same pony club. The Pony Tails also had weekly riding lessons at the same stable, Pine Hollow.
The Pony Tails were so crazy about ponies that they took every opportunity to practice riding. Luckily, the winter in Virginia was really warm this year, warm enough to ride outdoors in the schooling ring next to May’s house.
I’ll practice my cantering, Jasmine thought. She had a big smile on her face as she went into the kitchen.
Morning,
she greeted her mother and father. Good morning,
she whispered as she leaned over Sophie in her baby seat.
Mrs. James smiled at Jasmine. She looked tired. She plunked a bowl of oatmeal and a glass of orange juice in front of Jasmine. Here, honey,
she said. I wanted to make French toast this morning, but I was up so late last night …
Her voice trailed off as Sophie
