AN UNEXPECTED SITUATION
Radio DJ: Hi folks.
This is Radio FM! Today we are asking people from the local community about
unexpected
situations they have experienced this year. Raul from New York is our
next caller. What do you do Raul?
Raul: I’m a student. I
study economics at the University.
Radio DJ: Raul, did
anything unexpected happen to you this year?
Raul: Yes, yes it did!
Every year I go to the running of the bulls in Pamplona. In fact, I run with
the Bulls. But this
year a bull ran over me.
Radio DJ: Wow! That’s
terrible. What happened?
Raul: I ran in front of
the Bulls with hundreds of other people every day in the morning. On the last
day, I fell over
and this huge bull stepped on my leg. I rolled away and the bull kept on
running. It was a scary experience, a
really terrifying moment. I saw the bull’s eyes and horns as it stepped
on me. I heard people around me scream.
Radio DJ: How long did
it last? What did you do?
Raul: It last just a
few seconds. I could walk. I went to the hospital for an hour and got four
stitches. I was
embarrassed. All my Friends were watching. I felt foolish.
Radio DJ: Will you go
again next year?
Raul: No, we are going
to the Carnival in Rio.
Radio DJ: There you
have it, folks. Raul, the student, went to Pamplona and ran with the Bulls like
he does every
year, but this year, a bull stepped on him. Thanks for calling in today
Raul and share with us your experience.
