This story is an unpleasant episode of the author Savita Singh and how she managed to get out of it. The writer’s father was posted in Patna. On the first Sunday, she and her brother decided to go cycling in the morning. As it was very early in the morning, only a few people were on the roads. The roads with the trees lining them were good and shady. There were no grand buildings or monuments, as in Delhi.

After cycling for about half-an-hour her brother got bored and challenged his sister for a cycle race and the loser should treat the other with a chocolate. Savita agreed and they were off for the race. That was not the first time, they had raced. Usually, her brother would win and boasted about it for days. But Savita Singh was determined to win this race. She pedalled as fast as she could. Her legs ached and her skirt was spread out, warning to hit her face. She was breathing fast and couldn’t see anything clearly. Soon, she drew level with her brother and then gradually, she moved ahead.

As Savita was ahead of her brother, she could see the comer in a cloudy form. She was about to shout with joy. Just then, she saw a cow that stood in the middle of the road. She applied the brakes suddenly, but was thrown off the cycle. She landed on to the back of the cow. The cow was startled and started running out of fear. Savita clunged to her tightly for her dear life. The frightened cow charged straight at the cavalry officers, who were on horseback. The horses panicked and scattered. There was regular rush everywhere. The cow managed to fall into ditch and in the process freed Savita. She landed on the soft earth bordering the ditch.

Savita sat up with pain. The cavalry horses were still out of control. Some of them were running madly in circles. Their riders tried to bring them under control. Two horses were not’seen anywhere and another horse threw its rider right in front of the narrator’s eyes. He landed in the ditch just next to the cow. The cow thought it was another attack and lowered its head at the unlucky man.

The poor man climbed hurriedly out of the ditch, tearing his pants at an awkward place. Realising his pants being tom, he sat on the road with a thump. Her brother approached her and commented that she looked such a sight on top of that cow. He started laughing and asked her whether she was alright. She did not want to admit to her brother that she was frightened. So she arrogantly told him that she was alright. Just then, her brother saw one of the horse riders coming towards them with a threatening look and there was also a man to whom the cow belonged coming behind him. So they thought that it would be safe, if both of them moved fast from that place.

Otherwise, they would be called in for a lot of explanation. Both got into their cycles and moved away fast, as they did not want to add another unpleasant episode to the morning event.

If we wish to speak our words have to pierce through them.

On the first Sunday in Patna, the author and her brother decided to do a little exploring on their bikes. It was still very early in the morning and only a few people were walking on the roads. The roads were good and the trees lining them were shady. There were no impressive or grand buildings or monuments, as there were in Delhi. After cycling for about half-an-hour, her brother got bored and challenged Savita for a cycle race to the comer of the road. He said that the loser should treat the other to a chocolate. Savita agreed to this and they were off.

No, the girl did not admit to her brother that she was frightened.

After the frightened cow charged straight at the horses, they got panicked and scattered here and there. They were out of control. Some of them were running like mad in circles, while their riders tried to bring them under control. Two horses were nowhere to be seen, and one horse threw its rider right in front of Savita’s eyes. The poor man landed in the ditch just next to the cow. Thinking that it was another attack, the cow lowered its head at the unfortunate man. The poor man climbed hurriedly out of the ditch, tearing his pants at an awkward place.

During the race, she managed to move ahead of her brother. As she was nearing the comer of the road, she saw a cow right in the middle of the road. She applied brakes and stopped the cycle abruptly. But she was unable to stop the force of her body. She flew over the handle bars and landed straight on the back of the unfortunate cow, which got startled by the sudden attack and started running. The frightened cow charged up the road and round the comer. It spotted cavalry officers mounted on horses coming towards it. So it charged straight at the horses, who panicked and scattered. There was a regular rush. The cow managed to fall into a ditch and in this process freed Savita, who landed on the soft earth bordering the ditch.
