## Inspect

You see a giant dark horse. It's very agitated and noxious fumes stream from his nostrils. You sense an ominous aura floating in the air. This horse seems... malevolent. Unreal.

## Throw Food

*You keep a safe distance from the wild beast... Its gruesome whining makes you shiver.*

**Reconsider**
*You don't want to waste precious resources on this stupid horse... You back down a few steps.*
**Throw meat** (Requires 1 Raw Meat)
*You throw it some meat... You don't really know why... But to your big surprise, the wild beast rushes to it and begins to chew! It finishes the whole meat in a matter of seconds, licking the ground where the meat was... Seemed to like it...*
**Throw crap** (Requires 1 Crap Meal)
*You throw it some almost rotten food... It's just a horse after all. The horse rushes on it and swallows it whole! Then it chews on it a few times and gulps it with a disgusting sound.*
**Throw an apple** (Requires 1 Fresh Fruit)
*You throw an apple at it. You didn't have the time to blink, the horse rushes on the fruit and swallows it! Then it chews on the fruit a few times and gulps it with a disgusting sound.*
