Question

"Pierre used to boast that he didn't need reins-he never touched them. (4).

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Networks serve to control the horse and direct it to the path it must follow. 2. Pierre didn't need them, because his horse Joseph knew the way he was supposed to walk. 3. The other drivers added the joke that Joseph smiled at Pierre because they did not maintain a relationship of control but of friendship. 4. Pierre really said that he didn't need to use reins. 5. Joseph is a very obedient and intelligent horse and can easily handle any route.

Explanation:

Joseph is Pierre's horse, a milk delivery man. Pierre always follows the same path to deliver milk to his clients' homes and taught Joseph to follow that same path. Joseph is a very good, intelligent, obedient and peaceful horse. He learned the routes so well, that Pierre did not use reins to control him, breaking the control relationship between horse and rider and establishing a friendship and partnership relationship between the two. The other horsemen found it funny and faxed jokes about Joseph being able to smile at Pierre.
