Rural fun based on the cow’s inability to move sideways. Generally results in cow being killed. Sometimes, if it’s been raining, and if urban myths are true, the child will take a run up, hit the cow, slip through the cow’s legs, and get landed on by a freshly tipped cow. Then they both die.
( Rural readers! Have YOU ever tipped a cow? Did you chortle as the cow, its fate sealed, lay helplessly on the ground? Did her big, confused eyes look at you as though to say “this was a horrible accident, right?” Or do you just make it all up to impress gullible city folk? Answers in the usual way… )
