In a small village in Russia, there lived a farmer named Bryzinski. He had a horse, which was no ordinary horse. It was extremely intelligent and had a very deep bond with Bryzinski.
Bryzinski's family was not wealthy, and his farm was not large either. So this horse became his most important helper. Every day, it worked hard plowing the fields and pulling carts without any complaint.
One year, the village suffered a rare and severe drought. The crops were almost all dying, and the villagers were plunged into despair. Bryzinski was also very worried because it meant that he might not have enough food to get through the winter and his family would go hungry.
Just at this time, that clever horse seemed to sense its owner's worry. One early morning, it suddenly became restless, constantly pawing the ground with its hooves and neighing towards the direction outside the village. Bryzinski thought it was very strange and wondered if the horse had discovered something. So he followed the horse out of the village.
The horse led Bryzinski for a long time, passing through one parched land after another. Although Bryzinski was a bit puzzled, he still chose to trust his horse. Finally, they came to the foot of a mountain. The horse stopped beside a patch of grass and kept pawing the ground. Bryzinski took a closer look and found that the soil here was a bit moist. He realized that there might be a water source here.
Bryzinski immediately started digging. Sure enough, before long, a clear spring gushed out. He was extremely happy and quickly ran back to the village to tell the other villagers the good news. The villagers rushed over to fetch water one after another, and thus the drought crisis was resolved.
To thank the horse, the villagers held a grand celebration. Everyone gathered around, singing and dancing, and the horse stood in the middle, like a hero. Bryzinski was even more grateful to his horse. He knew that without this horse, he and the whole village didn't know how much hardship they would have to endure.
Since then, the story of this horse has spread in the village and become a legend in everyone's mouth. And the bond between Bryzinski and his horse has become even deeper, and they continue to live a peaceful and happy life on the farm.
