In this first episode of a two-part story, Laura Ingalls (Melissa Gilbert) is given a wonderful horse named Bunny -- which of course is great source of envy for spoiled-brat Nellie Oleson (Alison Arngrim). While being permitted to ride Bunny, Nellie falls off the horse, whereupon she pretends to be paralyzed so that Laura will be forced to wait on her hand and foot. Nellie's nasty scheme almost results in the death of the horse -- but, as usual, the little nemesis' comeuppance is near at hand. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
