Agba was in the room of the king Salten. The other five horeboys's face was frozened with fear but Agba wasn't his face lips was smileing because he thought that king saltan's face is looks like camel. Then Salten started to talk, he said that he will give a six best stallion-good horse to the Louis ⅨⅤ who was the king of the france in that time and also six horse boys will accompany with those six horse to take care of it. Agba was so excited when he heard that, he thought that it will be great for him and his horse to go to France.
While King Salten drink a tea Salten get interest with Agba because he thought that King of the france is about same age as Agba. So salten asked Agba "how old are you?". But No answer come out Agba was trying to say something but no sound came out. Then Signor achmet said to Saltan that "he has no power of speaking. He can talk by only his hands" Which means that Agba is mute.



-I was surprised when I found out that Agba is mute because until this chapter I didn't notice that Agba is Agba. how can you notice that Agba is mute if there is a dialogue spoken by Agba? and how can you noticed that acutually those things was told by hands? I'm sure that nobody could find out that he is a mute until this chapter.
And I also think that "mute" is key words for this story because it makes the protagonist differet from others. It makes him special. May be this charcteristic would cause a big problem in later of the story.

I had difficulties with writing comment on my partner’s blog. I really hate the word verification, sometimes it’s really difficult to read the letters so its makes me not able to post the comment. I couldn’t understand the purpose to have word verification. If they get rid of it, it will be easier to post the comment.

I think I did good job on writing the reading response on my blog but I could improve it even better. I like to write reading response which connects to my experience but those experiences were explained briefly and I think its makes my audience confuses a little bit. So next time I will try to write it in more detail.

As a result I would say that I’d like to continue on blogging. I think it’s much easier than doing it on the paper and it’s also save the papers too. It’s good for our nature. So if we have to do the reading response I want to do it on the blog

Two years passed. Sham grew strong and fast as the promise of white spot. Agba are having a great time with Sham. He went to work with Sham every day and after the work he play a horse race with other horse boys and he always won a first place. One day Sultan Mulai Ismel who is a emperor of Morocco invited six horse boys to his royal palace. Agba didn’t want to go to the palace because Sultan is known as evil ruler. He could kill hundreds of his slaves just for the test of new saber and he could destroyed a village to test a power of his muskets. Agba was so worried to be killed but he couldn’t disobey the emperor’s command so he had to go to the palace.

I think next chapter is going to be about the horse racing competition. The reason that emperor invited the horse boys must be because he wants to see the big horse racing for sure. In the beginning of the chapter it mention about the horse racing which horse boys always playing. I think that was a foreshadowing of what will happen in next few chapters.

Agba run back to the Sham’s stall with a camel’s milk. Sham was thin and looked sick. Agba quickly poured the milk into the cup and gave it to Sham. Sham drunk the milk like a little baby and that led Agba to the decision. Agba decided to be Sham’s father and he will take care of him instead of his mother. From that day Agba and Sham are staying together all the time.


I’m curious about one thing. If the baby horse has been brought up with a human parent, will it become more like human or not? I’ve heard the story of the wolf boy. About the year of 1997 Japanese police has discovered a boy who had brought up by wolf in north part of the Japan. And he was behaved and thought like a wolf. When the police are trying to catch him he barked at the police and jumped on them. So certain of the police were injured.
According to the psychologist, they said that it’s because of the environment he had grown up. He learned what to do and what think from the wolf so he became like a wolf.

So if this theory is true Sham must be more like a human.
