Lost and Found

Jonathan was in the chute seating himself upon this angry animal. He grabbed tightly the band around the animal and strapped his hand tightly to it. After settling himself on the bull, he motioned for them to open the gate. The bull charged out twisting, turning, and doing so many different motions that it seemed impossible for him to stay on board. The bull began the most difficult part of the ride by bucking in tight circles. The tight circles created centrifugal force that would usually throw off the rider. Jonathan stuck through these turns like glue. The crowd was roaring. They had never seen a ride like this. The bull was becoming heavily lathered, and his tongue was hanging out. It was obvious he was doing the best he could to unseat this creature on his back, but to no avail. He rode the bull past the time that he was supposed to and continued. The crowd was in ecstasy. They had never seen a ride like this. Finally, two horses went beside the bull and lifted Jonathan off. The bull was still raging and was charging around the arena angrily defying anything that got in his path and throwing his saliva in every direction. The crowd could not stop shouting. They had finally found a new champion. The final event of bull dogging was easily won by Jonathan. Mary was stunned.
