The principal came in. “I thought I saw a pony going down the hall!”

“He’s here for show-and-tell,” said Mrs. Ramsey. “I hope that’s all right.”

“It’s certainly a first,” the principal said.

“Class,” Mrs. Ramsey said, “raise your hands if you’d like to ask Kiera and Fran a question about their pony.”

A lot of hands went up. Six people asked, “What’s his name?” Fran and Kiera looked at each other. Fran wanted to say Midnight. Kiera wanted to say Snowflake. But they knew their friends would ask, “Don’t you know your own pony’s name?” And later they’d say, “Boy, the Shaw twins fight about everything!”

“Jigsaw,” they both said together. “His name is Jigsaw.”

There were lots more questions. “What does he eat?” “Does he bite? Or kick?” “Can I ride him?” “Can I?”

“We don’t even ride him yet,” Kiera said.

“We’re waiting for the blacksmith,” Fran said.

Now people came up two by two to pat Jigsaw.

“I love his long whiskers!”

“I love his eyes.”

“His ears are so cute!”

“He’s been a wonderful guest,” Mrs. Ramsey said at last. “Thank you for visiting, Jigsaw.”

Mrs. Shaw led Jigsaw out of the classroom. They stopped in the hall so the principal could pat him, too. Jigsaw tasted some of the art on the walls. It was rather dry.

“I don’t suppose he’d like an apple?” the principal asked. “I brought one with my lunch.”

While Jigsaw was eating the principal’s apple, Mrs. Ramsey was trying to start the school day. “Fran, Kiera, and Jody are going to think about schoolwork now,” she said. “And so is everybody else.”

But for the rest of that day everyone in class thought mostly about Jigsaw.
