'Of a summer dawn, the Bull of La Plata quits the lush pampas to wade the mud to the near-dry river in the middle of the plain. Slow, because he is either clogged, over-ruminative, or seeking to delay the delicious and unfamiliar contact of lip and water, he finds himself, about five to ten, somewhat stuck... Poor Bull.'
