It's time to saddle up, and the commander is all, "Whoa, you're going to have a hard time riding this thing!" . He's not kidding, and he's got a plan. First, he tells the rider to put on his feet and tighten his legs. Then he tells him to kick the horse, and to lean forward on it, but not to lie down. Finally, the rider pulls obediently onto the horse and tries to go for a ride. The commander is patient, but the rider doesn't seem to mind. He says that the commander and madam are very affectionate toward each other, and that one day, he might be able to marry one of them. He thinks that the name "forest" means "home" to a lot of birds, so maybe he'll find a place to live once he grows up. He wonders if the commander was laughing at him, or if he was trying to plot against him.
