the stockade and entered the ring. The little bull then did its best. It charged, twisted and turned, and took many an enthusiastic run at the bullfighters. \u00a0But it didn&#8217;t last long. \u00a0The bull was quickly stripped of its cockade and\u00a0<\/span>ficelle<span style=\"font-size: 1em;\">, and looked\u00a0<\/span>shell-shocked when the gate was raised, indicating it was time for it to leave the arena.<\/p><p>Several times, it had come close to goring a razeteur, which had wring a cry of fear from Linda, and my seat mate noticed.<\/p><p>&#8220;Is this your first Course Camargauise?&#8221; he asked.<\/p><p>I told him it was.<\/p><p>&#8220;Tell your wife not to worry,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The first two bulls are always rookies. They don&#8217;t do much and they won&#8217;t last long. \u00a0The one after that will be a bit more experienced, but he won&#8217;t last long either. The fourth is bigger and faster, and has a fair number of bullfights under his belt; so he knows the bullfighter&#8217;s tricks. And the fifth is bigger and faster yet, and has even more experience.<\/p><p>&#8220;By the sixth round, you have a real bull to deal with: fast, tough and mean. \u00a0Number seven is worse than all the earlier ones put together, and about that time you often get a jumper.&#8221;<\/p><p>I interrupted him. &#8220;I&#8217;m sorry? A jumper?&#8221;<\/p><p>&#8220;A jumper, yes,&#8221; the man confirmed. &#8220;When a razeteur jumps over the enclosure, a jumper is strong enough to follow him over the stockade. The razeteur thinks he&#8217;s safe, but he&#8217;s not.&#8221;<\/p><p>The man smiled wickedly at the thought. &#8220;That&#8217;s when things get interesting,&#8221; he said.<\/p><p>I looked at the height of the red-painted enclosure and doubted what I&#8217;d just heard. Everyone knew that bulls didn&#8217;t jump. \u00a0They lunged, charged, made a lot of noise and raised a cloud of dust, but they never really left their feet. American rodeo bulls maybe, but they barely got high up in the air, being too heavy.<\/p><p>My seat mate saw the doubt on my face and gave me a smile.<\/p><p>&#8220;Number eight will be huge, and he can be a jumper too,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;And number nine,&#8221; my neighbor shook his head in disbelief. &#8220;Number nine will be unbelievable. Big, heavy, fast, rippling with muscles. He&#8217;ll have made many appearances, and regularly won. And he&#8217;s always in a bad mood.<\/p><p>&#8220;And then, number ten,&#8221; the man began, and then struggled for the right words. &#8220;Number ten is&#8230;just impossible. You can&#8217;t imagine what he&#8217;s going to be like.&#8221;<\/p><p>He thought for a moment. &#8220;A devil with horns,&#8221; he offered.<\/p><p>Then he shook his head. \u00a0&#8220;No, worse. Much worse.&#8221;<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-cf4207d\" data-id=\"cf4207d\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-425c003 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"425c003\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"409\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/frenchstonesbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/secret-france-french-stones-book-cover-LANDIG-PAGE.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-1527\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/frenchstonesbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/secret-france-french-stones-book-cover-LANDIG-PAGE.jpg 409w, https:\/\/frenchstonesbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/secret-france-french-stones-book-cover-LANDIG-PAGE-205x300.jpg 205w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 409px) 100vw, 409px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8dbb224 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"8dbb224\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B089XDKT43\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Read the First Five Chapters for FREE!
