mamat's stretegy did work.when the gong sounded for the start , mamat held aral back instead.he then ran aral round the arena , skirting it and forcing asap to keep turning awkwardly in order to face aral.at a given push , aral pounded inwards , plunging his horns to the full into asap's neck.as asap lay convulsing in the throes of death , his owner protested desperately.but none heard or cared , least of all jali , and the seething shouting crowd , in clamouring for its winnings , drowned his pleas.needless to say , asap too , went the way of the doomed.
