Answer:
The boys return the horse at the end.
Explanation:
The most wonderful part of this story is the fact that the lads were quite innocent and meant no harm to anyone. They were simply daydreaming and desired to mount a horse. When they observed the farmer, John Byro, who didn't even once suspect them of stealing the horse, having a pure heart, it stung their consciences. When they encountered a kind man like John, who couldn't even imagine members of their clan stealing, they were not afraid but instead felt guilty. This was true even after John claimed that it had been proven that the horse resembled his identically. It's also possible that the kids were terrified of jeopardising the reputation and honour of their families.
