“Хубавото на многото коне е това, че можеш да избереш който ти хареса. По вкус. Вихра не се съмняваше в изтънчения си вкус и от пръв поглед избра един жребец. Сив. Че какво като е сив? Вихър не каза какъв цвят го иска. Тя си припомни целия разговор, с всичките му подробности, но не си спомни да е заръчвал: „Вихре, не ми води сив кон!“. Как обаче да го примами? Припомни си още веднъж разговора и пак не си спомни Вихър да е давал указания: „Вихре, примами този сив кон тъй и тъй!“. Значи брат ѝ не се съмняваше в способностите ѝ.

Конят разсеяно пощипваше сухи листенца от един храст и много се озадачи, като чу „пис-пис“. Да не би това „пис-пис“ да означава, че наблизо има котки? И квачка с пиленца, защото някой ги мами с „кът-кът“ и „пили-пили“?… Конят наостри уши. „Кучи-кучи“ ли? Ето, и кучета се появиха вече. Той изпръхтя обезпокоен: около него щъкат разни домашни животни, а той не ги вижда. Дали не ослепява?”
― Иван Мариновски, Руфо, червенокосия
