Clouds filled the sky and the last thing needed was rain. Pony was muttering about his luck as he had Jenny and the cart tied up by a pub. He was looking her over because part of strap that held the side pole had gotten worn and finally snapped. He couldn't even risk pulling it because the smallest accident would risk injury to her. 

His head turned as he saw a man coming up, a cabby. He didn't look like he was working and was taking a break. At least, Pony hoped so as he held out his hand to catch his attention. 

"Hey, friend. You work here, right? Can you suggest the closest place that might help me? I can't get my girl home without a replacement strap."He gestured to where a piece that attached her to the cart was hanging limp to the ground, a little dirt on it showed she had pulled it a foot or two before he could stop her to get her off the path.
