Raining Cows
It's the perfect end to
their first wedding anniversary.
Charles and Linda Everson are driving back to their
hotel at Lake Chelan, in the northwest of the USA.
Around them is a rocky beautiful landscape. The
road ahead is clear.
Suddenly a huge object drops from the sky. It crashes
onto the bonnet of the Everson’s car.
Dreaming
‘What was
that?’’ cries Mr. Everson. For a moment he
thinks he's dreaming. But no, he's still driving down
the empty road - with a smashed bonnet.
‘It came from above us!’ says his wife.
‘It looks like a cow!’
Escaped
Mrs Everson looks out
through the passenger window. She sees the
animal lying on the road behind them. Then she looks
up
‘I think it fell from there!’ she says,
pointing to a cliff. It's at least 50
metres above the road.
Somehow Mr.
Everson drives the car for another two kilometres until
they came to a shop. Outside a newspaper board has the
headline:
‘300 KILO RODEO COW ESCAPES RANCH’.
Lucky
Locals take the Eversons to
hospital. Amazingly neither is injured. The cow isn't
so lucky
'This cow was bred for
rodeo," a police spokesman later explains. "It was not
a normal cow in a field.'
Mr. Everson, 49, says: 'I'm
just glad to be alive. It's raining cows out here!'
