The people of Karaevli Village, a small village a few dozen kilometres from Çorlu, were scared out of their wits when one morning their mundane life was disturbed by a gigantic army equipped not only with guns and large artillery pieces, but also the legendary Iron Horses they had only heard about in the bards' tales.
A little girl who witnessed such a scene froze in place, unable to move an inch. It was only after her mother came running out of the house with a panic-stricken look on her face and snatched her back inside at such a speed that one would suspect the woman was not pulling back a child but a bag of groceries that the child began to cry loudly, almost choking several times in the process.
