Agba told a Signor Achmet-Cheaf of the grooms, to come to see the foal with a white spot on the heel. They went into the stall with excitement but when Sigonr saw the foal his face frozen in horror then he cried "The Wheat ear!".On the chest of the foal there is the shape like a wheat and it's the symbol of the evil sprits. The foal has both bad and good symbol on its body. Signor Achmet hope the good symbol will beat the bad symbol but a few days later the mare of the little foal was died. Sigonr said that the foal will die for the hunger. Agba was shocked with that so he run out of the town tried to run way from this problem. He run as fast as possible to the city of Meknes. At there he saw an Arab working with camel then one thought came to the Agba's head. "Camel's milk can be use for feeding a horse". Then He run to Arab man and get some camel mik from him.


"People run away from the problem when they don't know the way to solve it". That's what I thought when I read this chapter. Runing away from the problem is the worst thing to do. It doesn't make anything better it just make you weaker. So we shouldn't running away from the problem.

A time of birth came. A mare has moved in to the stoll and get ready for bear. Agba was sitting besides to a mare, He spend whole night with a mare hopeing it will be a easy birth. When he woke up a birth was over and there is a tiny foal sleeping next to a mare. Agba was saprised with that tiny foal because it has a white spot on his hind feel. A white on hind feel is a emblem of swiftness. Agba was so grad to seen that horse so he hold him up on his arm. Then the early sunlight shone to a float and it makes his coat looked like a red-gold. So he named a float "Sham", the Arabic word for sun.

When Agba named a float Sham, It's makes me curious about the meaning of my name "Eisuke". A name must have a meaning like a Sham. So I asked my father for the meaning of my name. Then he said that "Eisuke" is mean a smartest parson. When I heard that I felt so sorry with my father because I couldn't be a smart parson like as what he expected me to be.

Agaba is one of the horse boys who's working for a big ranch. He was interested with one of the male hose. he took extra care of her and let the other horse boys to take care other horeses. the reason the did that is he knew that the mare is pregnancy.

First chapter

I read the first chapter of “King of the Wind”. This chapter is like a prologue of the story. It just introduced about horse race in Canada. But I noticed that the horse race is the foreshadowing of what will happen next in the story. So I read this chapter twice to make sure that I perfectly understood the information of horse race.

When I saw the ward horse race it’s reminds me of one of my friend that I met in UK. His name is Yasu, he was 25years old when I met him and his dream is to become the horse breaker. I still remember the night that he told me his future dream. He told that his father is great horse breaker and he wants to belike him. To be like his father he needs more knowledge about horses so he decided to go over the world to study more about horses. And That’s the reason why he came to study English in UK. I felt impressive with his future plan but also envy. He has a big goal and he knew what to do to achieve the goal but I didn’t have any thing like that in that time. I had no dream and goals so his words made me ashamed. In that day I learned the importance and goodness of future dream.
