Derek was a little boy. He lived [with] his parents [in] a small house [in] a town.
They did not have a big garden. Derek liked animals very much.
One day he said [to] his father, "I've got a little money, Daddy. Can I buy a pony, please?"
But his father answered, "No, Derek, we can't have a pony [in] the garden, because it's too small and we haven't got a field.
People who keep ponies [in] small gardens [without] a field are unkind. Ponies need a lot [of] space."
Derek did not want to be unkind [to] a pony, so he did not ask [NP] his father again.
But then his father got a job [in] another place, and he and his family left [NP] their small house [in] the town and went and lived [in] a bigger house [in] the country.
It had a nice garden and a field, and Derek was very happy.
There was a farm [near] their new house, and there were horses, cows and a few sheep [NP] there.
Derek went to see them [NP] every day. He was five years old now, and he began to think [of] a pony again.
"My birthday is [NP] next month," he thought. "Perhaps Daddy will buy [NP] me a pony then."
[After] a little time, he began to talk [about] ponies [to] his parents again.
Then his birthday came. His parents gave [NP] him a few nice presents — but there was no pony. Derek was sad.
But then suddenly his Uncle Tom arrived. He was a farmer — and he had a big pony [with] him.
"Hello, Derek," Uncle Tom said, "Happy birthday. This is your birthday present [from] me and Aunt Mary."
Derek was a little [NP] afraid, because the pony was very big.
He looked [at] it [for] a few minutes and then he said [to] his uncle,
"Is he [for] me, or am I [for] him?"
