mastered and rode Bucephalus, a
famous war horse, is a tale of a
boys remarkable courage. So brave
and fearless was this Prince Alex
ander, that today, two thousand years
after his death, he is still remembered
as the worlds greatest warrior.
Bucephalus was spirited horse
sent as a present to Kink Philip,
Alexander's father. The king and the
courtiers went out in the park to try
the horse, but SO furious was the
animal that no one dared mount him.
He was entirely unmanageable
Philip, much provoked, gave orders
that the horse be sent back to Thes-
sally, as he was useless.
Alexander was standing quietly by
watching the actions of tho animal
and studying his traits. Sc saw that
the horse was frightened at his own
shadow, and he begged to be allowed
TO try to ride him. Philip at last re-
luctantly consented. The attempt
seemed hazardous for a ten-year-old
boy, especially as the experienced
grooms condemned the horse as too
vicious to be subdued.
