The poor pony is thin, hungry, and alone, having been left behind by her previous owner who considered her too much trouble. 
  Moved by compassion, Bonny convinces her loving parents to help rescue the pony, whom she names Penelope. The family takes Penelope home, providing her with a warm stable, fresh food, and most importantly, abundant love and care. Under Bonny's devoted attention, Penelope gradually transforms from a sad, neglected creature into a healthy, beautiful, and spirited pony.

Despite facing experienced riders and larger ponies, their perfect partnership shines through. They complete a flawless round, jumping every hurdle without fault, and win the coveted gold rosette. 
  The tale concludes with Bonny and Penelope living happily ever after, their fame spreading throughout the countryside. However, their greatest treasure remains their unbreakable friendship, demonstrating that love, kindness, and compassion can transform lives and create the most precious bonds.

  The Founding Fathers have become so revered by Americans in the last 200 years that the “Father of the Constitution” himself is often overlooked among the rest of the pantheon. Today James Madison’s legacy mostly pales in comparison to the likes of George Washington, Ben Franklin and his closest colleague, Thomas Jefferson, but Madison’s list of important accomplishments is monumental. 
  A lifelong statesman, Madison was the youngest delegate at the Continental Congress from 1780-83, and at 36 he was one of the youngest men who headed to Philadelphia for the Constitutional Convention in 1787. Despite his age, he was the Convention’s most influential thinker, and the man most responsible for the final draft of the U.S. Constitution. Along with Alexander Hamilton and John Jay, Madison was one of the most persuasive advocates for ratifying the Constitution. But his work was far from done; along with Thomas Jefferson, Madison was one of the founders and ideological cornerstones of the Democratic-Republican Party that guided the young nation in the first 30 years of the 19th century. That included his own presidency, in which he oversaw the War of 1812. 
  James Madison may have been the Father of the Constitution, but his wife Dolley all but defined the responsibilities and customs of being the president’s wife. Dolley had served as an informal First Lady for the widowed Thomas Jefferson, but when her husband entered the White House in 1809, Dolley went about furnishing the White House to such an extent that much of the style and items she chose were still in place when Mary Todd Lincoln became the First Lady in 1861. Dolley also became a folk hero of sorts and the center of a colorful legend that had her saving Gilbert Stuart’s priceless painting of George Washington just ahead of the British while her husband was denigrated for fleeing as Washington D.C. was burned.
