Question

Why did the narrator justify mourad's act of stealing a horse to himself

Answer 1

Narrator justified this stealing because he believed that it was not a stealing because Mourad didn’t steal the horse for money purpose, he stole the horse for riding and have fun as Mourad was very fond of horse riding and he didn’t have money to buy a horse. He also justified it because narrator also loved the horse and wanted to ride it as he also belonged to the poor family and he cannot afford to buy a horse.
