Jeff has lived in Martinsville his entire life. But tomorrow, Jeff and his family would be moving 200 miles away to Petersburg. Jeff hated the idea of having to move. He would be leaving behind his best friend, Rick, the baseball team he had played on for the last two years, and the big weeping Willow in his backyard, that he liked to sit under and think. And to make matters worse, he was moving on his birthday! Jeff would be thirteen tomorrow. He was going to be a teenager! He wanted to spend the day with his friends, not watching his house being packed up and put on a truck. Jeff thought that moving was a horrible way to spend his birthday. What about a party? What about spending the day with his friends? What about what he wanted? But that was just the problem. No one ever asked Jeff what he wanted.

What is the main reason for the ponyauction?a. to let children ride a ponyb. to raise money for the cowhandsc. to find a home for most ponies
before winterd. to limit the total number of ponies
on the island
The pony auction does three things: • It raises money for the Chincoteague
Fire Department.• It allows some people to take home a
foal.• And most important, it keeps the pony population at the proper size. Resources such as food will only support about 150 ponies on the southern end of
Assateague Island. A larger number would hurt the island’s ecology, or balance of life.
