Answer:
Aram’s Recall of an Experience
Aram remembers an experience when he was 9 year old. The world for Aram, at that time, seemed to be delightful and joyous. Mourad, whom everybody considered crazy, came at four in the morning and woke up Aram by tapping on the window of Aram’s room. It was summer, with daybreak just around the corner. Aram jumped out of bed and could not believe his eyes. Mourad was sitting on a beautiful white horse. Mourad asked him to be quick if he wanted to ride. Aram had always longed to ride a horse, but they were poor. They couldn’t afford a horse.
The Garoghlanian Family
The Garoghlanian family was poor as they had no money. Their whole tribe was poverty-stricken. But most important of all was that they were famous for their honesty. From a long time, they had built up a reputation for being proud and honest. They would never even take advantage of anyone.
John Byro’s Sadness Over his Missing Horse
In the afternoon, uncle Khosrove came to Aram’s house for coffee and cigarettes. Then another visitor arrived, a former named John Byro. He said that his white horse which was stolen the previous month was still missing and untraceable. John Byro also explained that his carriage was no good without a horse and he had to walk ten miles to reach there.
The Boys Decide to Return the Horse
The farmer looked into the horse’s mouth and found that the teeth matched those of his stolen horse. He said that he could swear that the horse was his, if he didn’t know their parents and the fame of their family for honesty. But the horse appeared to be the twin of his stolen horse.
Early the following morning, the boys took the horse to John Byro’s vineyard and left it there. The dogs followed them silendy. Aram thought they would bark. Mourad said that he had a way with dogs-and that’s why they didn’t bark. That very afternoon, John Byro came to the narrator’s house. He was very happy and thanked God. His horse had become stronger and better tempered. Uncle Khosrove again shouted at him to be quiet, as his horse had been returned.
The Summer of the Beautiful White Horse Chapter Highlights
Mourad and Aram were two poor Armenian boys aged 13 year and 9 year respectively. Both belonged to the
Garoghlanian tribe which was known for its pride and honesty.
The tribe was poverty-stricken, but its people were not dishonest and did not believe in stealing.
Mourad and Aram both had intense longing for horse-riding.
Going against the family reputation, Mourad stole a white horse of a farmer.
Aram was unable to understand how Mourad got that beautiful white horse, when he was so poor that he could not afford to buy a horse.
Aram could not resist the temptation of riding the horse, though he could make out that his cousin had stolen the horse.
Aram watched Mourad riding the horse and controlling it in an easy manner.
Aram rode the horse alone but could not manage to control it.
Mourad was considered a crazy person, the descendant of his crazy uncle Khosrove.
Uncle Khosrove, a big and powerful man, was a very impatient man. He did not allow anyone to speak and shouted loudly.
Mourad and Aram continued horse-riding for some weeks, though Aram was not able to control the horse.
One day both the boys came face to face with the horse’s owner John Byro, while they were taking the horse to its hiding place.
John Byro examined the horse and studied it tooth by tooth. He mentioned that the horse looked identical to his stolen horse.
But he never suspected the boys as he knew their family and parents, well-known for their honesty.
The boys returned the horse the next day quietly by taking it to John Byro’s place. Perhaps they felt guilty and they did not want to bring any shame on their family.
Next morning, John Byro visited Aram’s parents to tell of a great miracle. His horse, that had disappeared mysteriously, had returned. It was in better health and a better temper.
