“I don’t care what kind of horse he is.”

“But what am I going to tell the other kids at school?” Emily asked.

“He’s still a horse, Emily,” Julie said. “You don’t have to tell them that he’s a ghost horse.”

“That’s true,” Emily said.

“And maybe one of these days you’ll get a real horse,” Julie added. “Then you won’t have to worry about it.”

Emily was sure that would never happen, but she didn’t say so.

“Julie, do you know who John and Mary Wikkens are?” she asked.

“No,” Julie said. She patted the ghost horse’s nose again. “Why?”

“They’re buried in the cemetery here. I think the ghost horse knows them,” Emily said. “He took me there last night.”

“He did?” Julie asked.

Emily nodded. “I think he’s trying to tell me something,” she said. “I hoped you could help me figure it out.”

Julie thought for a minute. “Wait! There’s a Ms. Wikkens at our school!” she said. “She’s the new librarian.”

“I wonder if those people in the cemetery were her parents?” Emily said.

“We can ask her tomorrow,” Julie said.

The ghost horse whinnied softly. He shifted from one foot to the other.

“I think he wants to leave now,” Emily said. “I’ll see you at school in the morning.”

“Okay,” Julie said. “Thank you for showing me your horse.”

When Emily and the ghost horse got back to her room, she patted him softly on his side.

“We’ll find out something tomorrow for sure,” she told him. “I promise.”
