They need money to buy Shasta’s food because he can’t eat grass. There are times when he tried it (he was that desperate) and he could not. Bree decides to roll in the grass and Shasta laughs. The horse wonders if he’ll fit in with Narnians.

Ch. 2 After gorging on grass, Bree wakes up Shasta at noon. Everything hurts. The horse nuzzles him until he gets up. Physically, the boy has a rise in status. They are at the top of a headland on green turf sprinkled with white flowers. He has never been so far from the sea and he can’t smell the fish. The view dazzles him. Bree goes to the saddlebags and fines simple far, but the finest breakfast he’d ever had.
