The horse falls on a steep slope, its joint swells, and the animal begins to limp. Seeing this, the brigadier beats Sultanmurat with whips.

The boys manage to free themselves, and Sultanmurat, sitting on his father’s horse, jumps after them. But thieves kill the boy’s horse, and he falls to the ground. Dreams and hopes of Sultanmurat about how he will meet his father riding on his horse, and how Myrzagul admires him when he, having completed a successful arable land, will return home, now will not come true, and the boy weeps bitterly.
