The bulls vs. the lions. A blow-by-blow
description. 9-year-old Lorogai was too young to tickle the underside of an
elephant in the boys’ play, but when the lions attacked the cows, he helped his
favorite bull, Naibor, withstand the lioness’s attack by darting his spear into
the lioness’s heart. Quite a day.
Rating: **** out of
*****.
