"Mother is busy plucking beans and looking after the animals. She wanted to come down to buy clothes for me and also some pots and pans for the kitchen. Because she is plucking beans and looking after the animals, she could not. So I told her I will ride down and do it. I am a 12 years old person but mother worries about my safety. Maybe because this horse is not the obeying type. And it is only my third time riding it. But other men at home are busy too, so she had to send me to do this. So I came down. And I will ride this horse back up the hill to my village with new clothes for myself and pots and pans for mother. I will do it. Next time, if I want to take this horse out, I will not even have to ask her."
