Mirac le Hair To nic BUY N OW!
Harry Horse loved to watch television, everyday Mrs. Harvey would watch her favourite show in the kitchen. Harry would lean as close to the window as he could to catch every word.
One afternoon a brand new commercial came on about hair loss. Amelia Harvey jotted down the number, to get some Miracle Hair Tonic for her husband Sam Harvey.
Harriet Harvey curry combed Harry, and said to Harry that he was going bald. Harry noticed that the curry comb was full of hair!
Harry was so embarrassed that he stayed in his stall for the rest of the day.
Harry waited all week for the hair tonic to arrive.
On Friday, Amelia came into the kitchen with a box.
It was the hair tonic! she put the bottle down by the sink, and left the kitchen.
Harry stared at the bottle, he shoved his head through the window. The tip of his teeth touched the bottle. It rocked a few times and then landed gently in his mouth.
He trotted back to the barn and broke the bottle into his water trough. The water turned green.
Harry dunked his nose into the water and rubbed it over as much of his body as he could reach.
Harriet noticed Harry and yelled for her Ma and Dad, they rushed over... Harry had turned green! She noticed the water trough was filled with green water, and beside it she found the broken bottle of hair tonic.
Harriet confessed to Harry that she was only teasing him, he wasn’t going bald. He was losing his winter coat.
Sam and Amelia gave Harry several showers, he ended up a light green colour with patches of brown here and there. His nose remained dark green as he dipped it so many times in the hair tonic.
Harry remained green until he lost the rest of his winter coat. Harry never watched television again. Instead he went running across the wide green meadow with his friends.
