    place where the bull was he was ready to hit the castle with his head and the man got a very big crowbar lying at the castle and made to hit the bull, but the animal ran away and got off safely. But when the man had his back turned, he ran over to the other side of the castle and tossed the side out of it. The man found the great noise and he went over but, before he had time to see the bull, he jumped on top of the man and killed him. Then the bull tossed the whole castle and there is an old ruin there still.
