    In the village of Kila Raipur, people would like to take part in their unusual Olympics. Even though the villagers don't spend millions of dollars on the sport, these games seem to be much more fun than the real Olympics!

    Now in its 77^th year, the sport took place in the village Kila Raipur in an Indian state from January 31^st to February 3^rd. A villager by the name of Inder Singh Grewal wanted to organize an event which would allow farmers to show their skills, keep their culture and just have a good time.

    Over the years, it has become popular and now includes not just the farmers, but also some of the world's finest athletes from 7 to 70 years of age. In keeping up with times, there are different modern sports, such as hockey and race and traditional ones such as tug-of-war and even Kabaddi.

    However, the ones that interest the biggest crowds are the special sports like the bull(公牛)races. In the races, bulls run at high speed against each other, with athletes balanced on small carts(手推车). Then there is the game that challenges athletes to lift bicycles with their teeth. Another sport is using their teeth to pull a car. If that is not special enough for you to get excited about this, there is a competition that allows a tractor(拖拉机) to run over an athlete's body!

    All in all, the sport not only tests the skills and strength of its athletes, but also cheers up people. The best part is that everyone, old or young, can take part in the sport. So it's no wonder that over 4,000 athletes and over a million watchers run into the small village of Kila Raipur, each year!

    One morning a fox sees a cock. He thinks, “This is my breakfast.”

He comes up to the cock and says, “I know you can sing very well. Can you sing for me?”  The cock is glad. He closes his eyes and begins to sing. The fox sees that and catches him in his mouth and carries him away.

    The people in the field(田) see the fox. They cry, “Look, look! The fox is carrying the cock away.” The cock says to the fox, “Mr. Fox, do you understand? The people say you are carrying their cock away. Tell them it is yours. Not theirs.”

    The fox opens his mouth and says, “The cock is mine, not yours.” Just then the cock runs away from the fox and flies into the tree.

At the right stop I got off. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. I waited and waited. A man was also waiting for the same bus. He said that it wasn't unusual for the bus to be late.

Maybe getting a car in Los Angeles wasn't such a bad idea!
