Question

Why was it difficult for aram to believe the sight of his cousin mourad with the beautiful white horse?

Answer 1

Aram was both delighted and frightened upon seeing Mourad riding a beautiful horse because he could not stop himself from admiring the beauty of the horse and harbour hopes of actually riding one but at the same time he feared that it had been stolen. Mourad's act of stealing the horse would bring dishonour to the family. He could see the magnificence of the horse,a tangible creature but he knew that the horse could not have belonged to his family or bought by any of them. They were too poor for that. He couldn't allow himself to think that Mourad might have stolen because nobody in the Garoghlanian family could be a thief. The horse was definitely stolen and Aram was frightened of the repercussions of this act.

Answer 2

It was difficult for Aram to believe the sight of his cousin Mourad with the beautiful horse because their family was suffering from extreme poverty and people around did not even know from where and how they got the money to buy food and live. In these extreme conditions of poverty too when he saw Mourad with the beautiful white horse he was surprised how he must have got the horse. The family which the boys belong to is the Garoghlonian family they were one of the wealthiest family generations ago but now they are extremely in poverty.

The one thing why the Garoghlonian tribe was famous was for their honesty so Aram also knew that they wouldn't have stolen the horse. He was also extremely sure because of their present conditions he couldn't have bought the horse either. Everyone in the places around praised Garoghlonian for their honesty. None of the people of the Garoghlonian tribe could ever become a thief due to this fact.

Because Aram was sure that he couldn't have stolen the horse or bought it he was very confused thinking how Mourad might have gotten this horse. This is why it was difficult for Aram to believe the sight of his cousin Mourad with the beautiful white horse.
