The Woman laughed, and picked up the blade-bone and looked at it, and said, "Wild Thing out of the Wild Woods, you did not come here for wild Dog, but for the sake of this good grass." And wild Horse, tripping and stumbling on his long mane, said, "That is true; give it me to eat." The Woman said, "Wild Thing out of the Wild Woods, bend your wild head and wear what I give you, and you shall eat the wonderful grass three times a day." "Ah," said the Cat, listening, "this is a clever Woman, but she is not so clever as I am." Wild Horse bent his wild head, and the Woman slipped the plaited hide halter over it, and wild Horse breathed on the Woman's feet and said, "O my mistress, and wife of my master, I will be your servant for the sake of the wonderful grass." "Ah," said the Cat, listening, "that is a very foolish Horse." And he went back through the Wet Wild Woods, waving his wild tail and walking by his wild lone. But he never told anybody.
