"[telling Angus a tale about the water horse] Aye, it was my Uncle Lachlan who first told me about them. Many years ago, there was a lost traveler, and he's weeping bitter tears, because he cannot find his way home. H-He'd given up hope. Then suddenly, who should appear at the bank of the loch to this traveler but a sea spirit. A water horse. Now, the traveler, no fool is he, knows that the water horse is a creature of magic, one that could grow 10 feet tall overnight. So the traveler, he feeds the water horse, strokes it, flatters it with compliments, and finally, the traveler says: "Incidentally, water horse, my dear friend, I'm wondering, if you've no other pressing engagements, could I trouble you to carry me across the loch on your back? Show me the way home?""
