Aram and Mourad were cousins. They both were very poor but belonged from a family where stealing were considered wrong. These people were fair, just , proud and honest. They could never think is stealing. Mourad was adventurous by nature and think that he have some way with the animal. He had a streak of craziness. He was boastful. Due to this one time he stole a horse. Aran was both excited and frightened of watching a stolen horse. However, he justified Mourad 's action by saying that only taking out a horse for a joy ride was not equivalent to stealing. It will be only called stealing if they offered to sell it.
