In the middle of the story, the young horse decides to choose between the vice and virtue. Nevertheless, he is not aware of the aftermath.
In part of the book we read, “Amro had changed. It was a while that he had changed. He never talked to me so loudly, in a way that everybody would notice he was talking to his horse. He not only talked to me a lot but also he was inattentive. He was never so anxious. He was no longer the usual rider. He was not the usual Amro.”
