Though one day after eating her carrots Winnie turned into a pony. A horse racer saw Winnie running one day and asked her parents if he could race her. So Winnie ran races and won. After one of her races mom and dad said if we feed her junk food maybe she will turn back, but Winnie said no she liked being a pony.
