The story

In 1946, preteen Alec Ramsey is travelling by steamer off the coast of North Africa, where he sees a wild black stallion being forced onto the boat. Captivated, Alec sneaks to the horse's stall to feed him some sugar cubes, but he is caught by the horse's supposed owner, who tells him in Arabic to stay away from Shetan. Later, his father shows Alec his winnings from a card game and gives him a pocketknife and a small statue of Bucephalus, telling the story of how Alexander the Great became Bucephalus's master.
