It was hard to believe that a member of his family could ever do such a thing. There was no question about it thathe had stolen the horse.

Aram justifies the act of stealing the horse to himself by deciding that taking a horse in order to go for a ride on it is not at all the same as stealing other, tangible things, "such as money." Having identified this as a mental justification, Aram goes further, questioning whether stealing a horse is really stealing at all if, like his cousin Mourad and himself, one was "crazy about" horses. He also determines that unless they decided to sell the horse for money—and thereby profit from the act of stealing—it was perfectly justifiable and not a criminal act, because the cousins would not be trading in stolen goods, but simply enjoying a horse for pleasure.
