Once Upon A Time - Hanged by Buffalo's Horn

I want to recollect the dramatic and interesting episodes of my life. This is one of the reminisces.

I was young then. Just started schooling. maybe around darjah 1 or 2.

My father used to rear a few cattles, a herd of goats and 3 buffaloes. I used to help him look after the animals. As the buffaloes are used to work the padi fields and quite timid, I used to ride on one of the buffaloes.

One day while my father was milking one of his buufaloes, I tried to ride the other buffalo. She was tied to the stump. As I was struggling to mount her front legs, the docile animal moved wildly suddenly.

I lost my balance and grip on her mound and was thrown to the front. My short, I was bafefooted and without the shirt, was caught by her horn.

I was shouting for help to my father. My father was amused and laughedd heartily. He did not help me immediately. He let hung by the horn. I was struggling to free myself but to no avail. Luckily, as if sympathetic to my predicament, the buffalo just stood still.

After sometime, realising that I could not free myself, my father came to my rescue. He lifted me up and I was free.

I was shocked from the event. But it did not stop me from riding the buffalo again. It was fun. And it was an adventure of my childhood days.
