“The day turned hot. Since nobody was around, they’d taken off their clothes to go swimming, when a ‘big gold horse’ with wings walked out of the woods on the opposite bank and started drinking. The two geniuses decided to try to catch it and made it partway across the river, when, according to them, ‘a winged devil’ landed on the horse and told them to run before he devoured their souls.” Well, that escalated quickly. Winged devil, huh. “And this devil rode the horse?” “Supposedly.” So the winged horses were rideable.
