My particular favorite was the long riff on the horse's thoughts on his possibilities as he surveyed the pasture. It was his Eden. Alas, even to the snake in Monk's garb. What were the odds he'd go stand under the tree?
It hadn't occurred to me, but it brings up the issue of predestination. Did he have to go there? Certainly for the purpose of the story he did, but did he do it under divine compulsion or just dumb bad luck? Alternatively, is it a case of infinite universes and in all the rest of them the horse went anywhere but the tree?
