There is a sound like the cry of a horse.
Actually, it comes from the Morin Khuur that the Grandfather is playing.
A mother camel, suffering birth pains, may reject its approaching baby.
That's why the Grandfather plays these sad notes on Morin Khuur strings.
The camel blinks its big eyes and tears roll down its face.
Now the baby will be cuddled by its mother.
