\n"How long did the Monk believe these things?<\/p>\n
Well, as far as the Monk was concerned, forever. The faith which moves
\n\tmountains, or at least believes them against all the
\n\tavailable evidence to be pink, was a solid and
\n\tabiding faith, a great rock against which the world could hurl whatever it
\n\twould, yet it would not be shaken. In practice, the
\n\thorseknew, twenty-four hours was usually about its lot.<\/p>\nSo what of this horse, then, that actually held opinions,and was
\n\tskeptical about things? Unusual behavior for a horse,wasn’t it? An
\n\tunusual horse perhaps?<\/p>\nNo. Although it was certainly a handsome and
\n\twell-builtexample of its species, it was none the
\n\tless a perfectlyordinary horse, such as
\n\tconvergent evolution has produced inmany of the places that life is to be
\n\tfound. They have alwaysunderstood a great deal more than
\n\tthey let on. It is difficultto be sat on all day, every
\n\tday, by some other creature,without forming an
\n\topinion about them.<\/p>\n
