"I wouldn't be sure he's not sweet on the two o' them." A day came when the two girls, crossing the fields by a short cut, found themselves face to face with a very fine bull. They had not noticed him till they came quite near him. Their path wound round by a little wood which, since it belonged to the paddock of the mares, was surrounded by high hurdles.
She paused at this point to wonder why a stray cowpuncher should make her flush but immediately decided that he had nothing to do with it; it was the purchase of the mares that kept alive the little thrill of happiness.
If you take good care of my mares, I'll give you an heroic steed. But if you don't why, then you mustn't be annoyed at finding your head stuck on top of the last pole up there. Prince Ivan agreed to these terms. The Baba Yaga gave him food and drink, and bade him set about his business.
While they entertained me thus, the horse came out of the sea, as they had told me, covered the mare, and afterwards would have devoured her; but upon a great noise made by the grooms, he left her, and plunged into the sea. Next morning they returned with their mares to the capital of the island, took me with them, and presented me to the Maha-raja.

And that goes along with another proposition that the successful have no rights which the unsuccessful are bound to respect.
Massa Walter, dare are many pirate ships out in dese parts; and de last place we touch at, I know Ali talky wid some black fellows, and me tink he told dem to follow de ship, and dat he will help to let dem come on board and take her." "But why did you not tell Mr Thudicumb or the captain this?" I said. "Dey tink I fond of finding mares' nests," he answered.
They re-opened their Buffon, and got into ecstasies over the strange tastes of certain animals. But all the books are not worth one personal observation. They hurried out into the farmyard, and asked the labourers whether they had seen bulls consorting with mares, hogs seeking after cows, and the males of partridges doing strange things among themselves. "Never in their lives."
The khan has a stud of horses and mares all pure white, nearly ten thousand in number; of the milk of which none are permitted to drink, unless those who are descended from Zingis-khan, excepting one family, named Boriat, to whom this privilege was granted by Zingis, on account of their valour.
Ralph's Sufferings. Low down in the northwestern horizon was a faint speck of white. Everywhere else the blue of the sky and ocean was unrelieved. The "mares' tails" of clouds had disappeared and the sea was a gently heaving plain of glass. "A sail!" exclaimed the boy. "It must be a sail." He hurriedly set up his mast again and hastened back to the tiller.
