Second graders read “Suho’s White Horse” in their Japanese language textbooks, and it looks like kids can watch a staged reading of it for free.

Lastly
I looked it up, and apparently “Suho’s White Horse” has been used in second-grade elementary school textbooks from around 1965 to the present. The story is something like: “On the grasslands of Mongolia, there is a boy named Suho. One day, he finds a newborn white foal collapsed by the roadside, cares for it, and raises it with great love… A sorrowful story of a horse and the boy Suho.” It’s still included only in Mitsumura Tosho textbooks, but does Nishinomiya City use Mitsumura Tosho? I haven’t confirmed it. Please let us know〜
