A wild stallion was captured and put in a wood-fenced compound bordering the open country in which he once ran free. His first week in captivity he showed all the wildness of a once-free creature now penned; but in the weeks that followed, even the dried grasses once refused as food became not only tolerable but even agreeable. After all, no effort was required on his part to eat his fill. F...
