Chapter 12 Hard timesI was sold to a baker who Jerry knew，but the baker's bearing rein up．This made it difficult for me to pull a heavy cart，and I found the work very hard．One day，after three or four months of this，I was pulling the cart，which was much heavier than usual，up a steep hill．I had to stop several times to rest，which didn't please Jakes．'Move on， you lazy horse， or I'll make you！'he shouted，and he hit me with his whip．After a few more metres，I had to stop again．The whip came down across my back once more and the pain was sharp．I was doing my best but the driver was still punishing me cruelly，which seemed very unfair．Jakes was whipping me a third time when a woman hurried over and said，Oh，please don't whip your horse like that． I think I can help，if you'll let me．
