Third Person POV:

"There ya go, Sven. Have a nice time with the horses." James told Sven as he put him in his stall and leaves.

"So, you are the famous Sven. I gotta say, your pictures don't do you justice." Minimus says to Sven.

"In the flesh. And who are you?" Sven replies.

"I'm Minimus, Princess Sofia's steed. You might've heard of her?"

"Ah, yes, Princess Sofia, what a nice girl," Sven stated. "So let's get straight to the point. Do you have carrots?"

"Do I have carrots?" Minimus laughs. "Of course I have carrots. Who do you think I am?"

"Well? Where are they? A long trip can tire a donkey out." Sven said.

"Donkey? You're not a donkey. You are a reindeer." Minimus said questioningly.

"Well, everyone calls me a donkey, so I must be a donkey. Maybe the animal gods just got it wrong. Maybe I was supposed to be a donkey. Then perhaps it was too late to fix it once they noticed." Sven replied.

"Huh. Strange. I'm a flying horse, but everyone calls me a donkey too. Maybe we were both meant to be donkeys," Minimus stated thoughtfully.

"Maybe this is another sign from our gods. Maybe we're supposed to be friends," Sven stated.

"Your probably right... I hear Sofia and her friends saying this handshake rhyme they came up with all the time, uh let's see, how'd it go again? Oh, right!" Minimus says.

"Like three birdies in a nest, three friends are the very best. Like three berries on a vine, three friends always make things fine."

"Awesome! Let's come up with our own." Sven tells Minimus.

"Okay. We can just change the words to that and make it our version." Minimus stated.

"Ours can go like this: Like two donkeys in a stable, two friends are very playful. Like two carrots in the ground, two friends always make things sound." Minimus finished.

"Perfect!" Sven said excitedly. "Let's rehearse."

The two 'donkeys' start to say their rhyme, "Like two donkeys in a stable, two friends are very playful. Like two carrots in the ground, two friends always make things sound."

"Great!" Sven threw out.

"Love it!" Minimus piped in.

"Now, really, where do you keep the carrots?" Sven asked. Minimus just laughed and tossed him the bag of carrots his friend has been obsessed with since he got there.
