\par }\pard\plain \widctlpar\adjustright \fs20\lang2057\cgrid {\i\f1\fs22 Once a year Montpellier hosts the highlight of the season for a local speciality - bullfighting. Here though they don\rquote t call it a fight - it\rquote s known as \lquote 
les courses Camargaises\rquote  - and the bull always lives to fight another day. People in this part of Franc
e are crazy about it. Thierry Cause used to be a famous razeteur, which is what they call bullfighters around here. He agreed to guide Wendy through the afternoon\rquote s events.
\par }{\f1\fs22 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par Wendy:}{\f1\fs22   What are the Camargue games?  What can I expect?
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par Thierry Cause:}{\i\f1\fs22   }{\f1\fs22 The aim of the Camargue games is that the men in white
\par confront the bull to get the ribbons from its head.  That's the aim of the game.  
\par 
\par }{\i\f1\fs22  
\par 6 bulls versus 14 bull fighters.  That seems uneven, but the bulls aren't in the ring for longer than 20 minutes each.  The bull fighters, stay out for the entire afternoon.  
\par }{\f1\fs22 
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 Announcement:}{\f1\fs22   The bull in the ring is called Russian.  He belongs to the herd of L'Etang de l'Or.  He's wearing a ribbon and two tassels worth 270FF each.  
\par 
\par 
\par }{\i\f1\fs22 There are no banderillas, no capes, no blood - just a lot of agility and technique.  And motivation, of course.  Each time that a bull fighter succeeds in getting a rosette from the bulls horns, the local tradesmen give him money.   
\par }{\f1\fs22 
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 Announcement:}{\f1\fs22    And the ribbon at 400FF for Bensallat\'85.
\par 
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 Wendy:}{\f1\fs22   So what do you do with that?
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par Thierry Cause:  }{\f1\fs22 That's the bullfighter's hook.  You hold it like this, or like this.  He has to press it into the palm of his hand, like this.  And then you place it on the head of the bull, and pull.
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par Wendy:}{\f1\fs22   And that doesn't hurt the bull?
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par Thierry Cause:  }{\f1\fs22 Normally, no. There's no problem if the bullfighter is skilful.  He puts the hook in the right place and grabs the ribbon or the tassels.
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par Wendy:}{\f1\fs22   Which are more dangerous - the bull that runs after the man or the one that stays put?
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par Thierry Cause:  }{\f1\fs22 Both are dangerous but in my opinion, the most dangerous is the bull that stays put and then sets off on a definite course and only moves when he senses he can catch the man.
\par }{\i\f1\fs22 
\par 
\par The bulls have real admirers.  The fans know their names, and they've even built statues of the bravest.  
\par 
\par At the end of the day, the most courageous bull fighter is rewarded with bouquets and prizes.}{\f1\fs22 
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 Announcement:}{\f1\fs22   First prize, best fighter of the afternoon - David Messelien!
\par 
\par 
\par }{\i\f1\fs22 Today, the hero of the day is David Messelien.
\par }{\f1\fs22 
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 Wendy:}{\f1\fs22   Weren't you frightened?
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par David Messelien:}{\f1\fs22   There's always a certain amount of fear, as in any sport and especially in dangerous sports.  But when the bulls come in,  you try to forget the fear and fight
.  The most frightening thing is a wound from the horns.  Bulls with big horns can wound you on the arm or thigh. So that's definitely the most frightening.
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par Wendy:}{\f1\fs22   I was frightened for you
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par David Messelien:}{\f1\fs22   Most spectators are frightened for us. That's what gives the sport its charm.
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par Wendy:}{\f1\fs22   Congratulations
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par David Messelien:}{\f1\fs22   Thankyou
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par }{\i\f1\fs22 Fr\'e9d\'e9ric, the local hero, is so passionate about this game that he carries his injuries with pride.}{\f1\fs22 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par 
\par Wendy:}{\f1\fs22   What's that?
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par Fr\'e9d\'e9ric: }{\i\f1\fs22  }{\f1\fs22 A wound from a horn
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par Wendy:  }{\f1\fs22 That happened today?
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par Fr\'e9d\'e9ric:  }{\f1\fs22 Horns do that to your arms
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par Wendy:  }{\f1\fs22 Why do you keep doing it?
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par Fr\'e9d\'e9ric:  }{\f1\fs22 It's a passion.  It's like Formua 1 racing driver Schumacher - he broke his legs, and came bac
k straight away.  If you put me in England and said,  "Walk back - then you'll fight"  I'd walk back.  That's how much I love it.  It's crazy, but it's in the blood.  It's hard not to fight.
