Lesson70Red for danger

During a bullfight,a drunk suddenly wandered into the middle of the ring. The crowd began to shout, but the drunk was unaware of the danger.The bull was busy with thematadorat the time, but it suddenly caught sightof the drunk who was shouting rude remarks and waving a red cap. Apparently sensitive to criticism, the bull forgotall about the matadorand charged at the drunk. The crowd suddenly grew quiet. The drunk,however, seemed quite sure of himself. When the bull got close to him, heclumsilystepped aside tolet it pass. The crowd broke into cheers and the drunk bowed. By this time, however,three men had come into the ring and they quickly draggedthe drunk to safety. Even the bull seemed to feel sorryfor him, for it looked on sympathetically until the drunk was out of the way before once more turning itsattention to the matador.
