Q2.Compare and Contrast the characters of Mourad and Aram.
Mourad and Aram were cousins from the Garoghlanian tribe, which was known for its integrity. Mourad was thirteen, and Aram was nine. Both of them wished to ride a horse. But their family couldn’t afford to buy a horse. Both were thrill seekers. Both were aware that their family was well-known for its honesty and integrity. But Mourad couldn’t stop himself from stealing John Byro’s horse. Aram was honest and simple-hearted despite his craziness. Mourad was more gifted and daring than Aram. He domesticated John Byro’s wild horse. He repaired a robin’s injured wing; he knew how to handle a horse and how to calm a dog. Comparatively, Aram was timid and obedient. Therefore, Mourad could easily lie to John Byro about the horse. Aram could never do it.
Q1.Give a brief account of Mourad’s adventure with the white horse.
Mourad was a crazy daredevil boy. He enjoyed horse riding. So he stole John Byro’s beautiful white horse from his vineyard. He hid it in an abandoned barn and rode it every morning. One morning, he invited his cousin Aram to join him in his joy. He had a thing for wild horses. Because it was a stolen horse, Aram hesitated. Nonetheless, he accompanied his cousin and enjoyed the ride. Mourad also rode alone. He joyfully sang and roared. He let the horse run across a dry grass field to an irrigation ditch. He came back five minutes later. He warned Aram not to ride the horse alone because it was quite wild.
Mourad had a way and some sort of understanding with three creatures. Who were they?
Mourad was arrogant and self-assured.
He knew how to handle a wild white horse, the farm dogs and an injured bird. Byro’s white horse improved in temperament. The dogs in Byro’s barn didn’t attack him. Mourad nursed the little-injured robin back to health, and it was able to fly again.

What impression do you form about Khosrove?
Khosrove was Mourad and Aram’s uncle. He had acquired the special characteristic of the family i.e. the crazy streak.
He was a massive man with a thick head of black hair. He had the biggest beard in the entire San Joaquin Valley. He was an irritable man who easily lost his cool when someone lamented his loss. His most frequently repeated words (in this situation) were. It causes no harm; disregard it.”
