The story

With Alan only singing TV commercial jingles, Martin goes to see the boy's parents, the non-religious Frank Strang and his Christian fundamentalist wife Dora.

Martin begins winning the respect and confidence of Alan, who shares his earliest memory of a horse from when he was six and a man approached him on a horse named Trojan.

The man took Alan up on Trojan, which the boy found thrilling, but his parents reacted negatively and injured him taking him off the horse.
