1:19:02
"Let the bull out!
Pablo, let the bull out!"
1:19:05
And then everyone shouted,
"Here comes the first one!"
1:19:08
It was Don Perito García, the mayor.
1:19:12
He walked between the lines
and nothing happened.
1:19:16
He passed two men, four men,
1:19:20
eight men, and nothing happened.
1:19:23
From the roof someone shouted,
"What's the matter, coward?"
1:19:27
But nothing happened.
1:19:30
I was watching one man
who had a dispute with the mayor
1:19:32
about a piece of land,
and who hated him.
1:19:36
And it was this man
who first raised his flail.
1:19:53
Don Faustino Rivera
was known as an annoyer of girls.
1:19:57
He wanted to be known as a bullfighter
and went much with them and Gypsies.
1:20:01
But he was a coward
and was considered a joke.
1:20:04
But he was inspired by the example
of Don García and he stood there
1:20:08
looking handsome and brave,
and he made his face scornful.
1:20:13
Now the lines began to shout,
"Listen Don Faustino,
1:20:16
there are beautiful girls over
the cliff, why don't you chase them?"
1:20:50
It was then I knew
that the lines had become savage,
1:20:54
caused by the insult of Don García
and the cowardice of Don Faustino.
