Farmer Hicks had two horses. Softly was sweet, and Surly was ornery (grouchy). One day a stranger came to the farm, and the horses overheard Farmer Hicks talking about selling one of his animals. The two horses had to put their differences aside and work together to work against being separated.

What are the two things the author is comparing? 
Yesterday morning, I was on my way to school and I felt very upset. My mom and I had just had the biggest fight. As the day went on, I got a call from my mom's best friend and she told me my mom was feeling very melancholy, as well. I called her as soon as I got home and we talked for what seemed like hours.
