Summary: "Si Znork ay isang kabayong antukin. Tuloy ay pinagtatawanan siya ng kanyang mga kapwa-kabayo sa kuwadra dahil lagi siyang napag-iiwanan. "Hwee-hee-hee-hee! Hwo-hohoho!" Ngunit dahil sa pangarap niyang maging mahusay na kabayong pangarera, nagsikap si Znork na labanan ang kanyang kahinaan. Wala siyang ibang ginawa kundi magsanay. Pero - naku! - mukhang hindi matutupad ang pangarap ni Znork. Kinuha sila sa kuwadra ng mga binatang nakauniporme. Ang maganda, higit pa sa inaasam ni Znork ang kanyang nakamit - ang maging kabayo ng isang magiting na heneral at bahagi ng isang kabanata sa kasaysayan ng Filipinas. ("Zzzzzzzzz ... Ngoooooork!" Znork is a horse who is always sleepy. As a result, he is being laughed at by his fellow horses at the stables because he is always being left behind. "Hwee-hee-hee-hee! Hwo-hohoho!" But because of his dream of becoming a good racehorse, he tries his best to overcome his weakness. He does nothing but practice. But-oh!-it looks like Znork's dream will not be fulfilled. They are taken away from the stables by young men in uniform. What's good, Znork gets more than what he wished for - become the horse of a brave general and a part of a chapter in the history of the Philippines."-- Provided by publisher
