I could see the corner, in a haze. I was starting to whoop with glee, but the whoop froze on my lips. There, right in the middle of the road, stood alone cow! I jammed on thebrakes and the cycle stopped abruptly, but I could not stop the momentum of myown body. I flew over the handlebars and landed smack on the back of the unfortunate animal. The cow,  startled by this sudden attack, reared up and started running. I clung to her for dear life, as she charged up the road and round the corner. As we turned, I spotted two rows of resplendent cavalry officers mounted on their magnificent horses coming towards us. They obviously belonged to the governor's bodyguard. I could only cling on helplessly as the ,frightened cow charged straight at the horses. The horses panicked and scattered. There was a regular stampede. The cow managed to fall into a ditch and in the process, dislodged me, and I landed on the soft earth bordering the ditch.
