Meg and Merlin – Making Friends

Meg is pony mad! She desperately longs for a pony of her own, but knows that her parents could never afford to buy her one; they are already struggling to afford her riding lessons at the local stables, which she can now only have once a month. This doesn’t stop Meg from still wishing for a pony every Christmas, birthday and even from the Tooth Fairy.

On the morning of her tenth birthday, Meg can’t believe her eyes when spies a pony on her front lawn and dares to think that all of her dreams have finally come true, even if just for a moment. But what is the pony really doing there?
