As they were crossing a farmer's field, a bull charged them. The wrestler grabbed the bull by the horns, and they went down in a snarling4 heap. Finally the bull jumped up and ran away. "Wow," said the friend, "that was quite a tussle5. ""Yeah," the wrestler replied, "and if I hadn't had that last drink, I would have gotten that guy off his bicycle.
