Only Boots stays awake and discovers the cause: a magical horse. He tames three magical horses on three nights, each more powerful than the last, and receives armor and gear from them.

Disguised in armor from the magical horses, Boots climbs the hill over three days, catching one apple each day. On the final day, he reveals his identity and proves he is the hero.
