Description
Taking a deep breath, Alison wiped a stray tear from her cheek. "I've always believed that what you give in life is exactly what you get back", Mom said. "You have given a lot to others, and one of these days you will get back the things you dream of". Every year, Alison's family goes to Chincoteague Island to see the wild pony auction, and every year, her parents have said no when she asks to enter the auction and buy a pony for herself and her sister Laura. But this year is different: Alison has saved $550, and her parents say that if the sisters can find a pony for that price, they can spend the money. But with ponies being sold at $1,000 or more, it looks hopeless -- until two strangers enter the auction, and the girls realize they may be the recipients of a priceless gift.
