| Summary | "Maggie's Wish" by Marilyn D. Anderson is a children's novel written in the late 20th century. The book depicts the adventures of a young girl named Maggie, who dreams of owning a pony. Set on a dairy farm, the story captures her experiences with her parents, her cousins, and the two large workhorses they acquire, delving into themes of desire, growth, and the responsibilities that come with caring for animals. In "Maggie's Wish," Maggie’s excitement builds as she awaits the arrival of a pony, but her dreams are initially dashed when her father brings home two large workhorses instead. Undeterred, Maggie learns to love and care for these enormous animals, especially Molly, who ultimately proves to be brave and loyal. The story unfolds with Maggie facing various challenges, including her desire for independence, as she tries to ride Molly and ultimately protects herself and her cousins from a dangerous situation involving a cow. In the end, her perseverance leads her to finally receive a pony, symbolizing her growth and the fulfillment of her dream. The narrative emphasizes the bond between children and animals, illustrating how love, patience, and courage can help overcome obstacles. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
