Unable to find his new friend in a textbook, Angus shows it to his sister, Kirstie, and the houses new caretaker (管家), Lewis. Lewis explains that its a water horse. According to Scottish legend, the water horse is a lonely animal that lays just one egg, then dies. Angus can understand this. His father still hasnt returned from the war.
