Honey's story is told primarily from the viewpoint of a small and injured pony. Confused and friendless at an auction, she is befriended by a cowpony, now too old for strenuous work. Both are saved from the knacker's bid for the slaughterhouse by an old man, hoping that the two of them may help save his granddaughter. Just eleven, orphaned and crippled from a car accident, Amy must live with her grandfather. Defeated by anger and depression, she withdraws into herself and her room, regressing emotionally and physically. Unable to reach her, the grandfather gambles that the unconditional love offered by an animal will be the right therapy for Amy. Honey's natural instincts, the old man's wisdom, and the cowpony's memories work their magic to bring joy to wheelchair-bound Amy.

Today is Bennet's birthday! He is so excited and in such a hurry to go to his party that he keeps overlooking important tasks he must do to be ready to go. All the while, his mother keeps patiently reminding him to "Wait a minute, Bennet, first things first." Bennet learns not only about patience but also a lesson about not getting ahead of himself. He discovers that sometimes it is just as important to not be too early as it is to not be too late. Ultimately, waiting is hard, but perfect timing makes the wait worth it.
