Answer:
The story ‘The Summer of the Beautiful White Horse’ is a tale told from the viewpoint of a nine-year-old boy. At that age, imagination is rich and one can romanticize even insignificant actions. To such a person the world is full of excellence and glory and life is delightful and a mysterious dream. For the young poor boy, a ride on a beautiful white horse is a dream fulfilled. He had been always longing to ride and his cherished dream is realized when his cousin Mourad offers him a chance to ride on horseback—first with him and then alone. Riding the stolen horse and hiding it safely are great feats of adventure for the two boys.
Explanation:
One morning Aram is awaekened before dawn by his thirteen year old cousin Mourad who is thought to be demented by everyone except Aram,and has a way with animals. Aram has always wanted to ride a horse, but his family is too poori to afford one.
However the Gargoghalian tribe is noted only for its poverty but also it's honesty, so it is unthinkable that Mourad would have stolen the horse. So Aram felt that his cousin couldn't have stolen the horse.
Aram was invited to ride on the horse with Mourad. The idea of Mourad stealing the horse drained away from Aram's mind as he felt that it wouldn't on thehorse for a long time.
Uncle Khosrove's crazy streakbecome stealing until they offer to sell the horse. They enjoyed their riding
Mourad's crazy behaviour was considered to be a natural descent from their uncle Khosrove, even though his father, Zorab, was a practical man Uncle Khosrove was an enormous man who was always furious impatient and irritable. He would roar for everyone to stop talking and say It is no harm, pay no attention to it. In fact, one day, when his son came and told them that their house was on fire, Khosrove silenced him by roaring "Enough. It is no harm
After a long day of riding, Mourad wanted to ride alone on the horse. Aram had the same longing, but when he sat on the horse and kicked its muscles, it reared and snorted and raced forward, dropping Aram off its back
John Byro- the owner of the horse, comes to Aram's houseThat afternoon, an Assyrian farmer named John Byro, an Assyrian friend of the Garoghlanians- came to Aram house. He reported to Aram's mother that his white horse which had been stolen a month ago was still missing Hearing this, Aram concludes that Mourad must have had the horse for a long time. Khosrove, who was at Aram's house when Byro came, shouted his dialogue "Its no harm to such an extent that Byro was forced to spring out to avoid responding
The boys hid the horse and kept it with them Aram ran to Mourad to inform him of Byro's arrival. Aram also pleaded to Mourad to not return the horse until he could learn to ride. Mourad disagreed saying that Aram would take at least a year to learn, but promised he would kecp it for six months. This became a routine. Mourad came daily to pick Aram to ride, and Aram continuously fll
off the horse's back after every attempt. John Byro's trust in the family makes the boys change their minds
Two weeks later, they were going to take the horse back to its hiding place when they met Byro on the road. Th farmer is extremely surprised. He recognizes his horse but refuses to believe that the boys had stolen it. He sa the horse is the twin of my horse" and "a suspicious man would believe his eyes instead of his heart and th night they return it to the farmer, John Byro. Thus, the Garoghlanian's family of honesty saved them.
