- The author reminisces about their childhood bull named Hansha from their village in India. As a young calf, Hansha was playful and friendly towards the children but also exhibited defiant, independent behavior. - By the time the author visited their village again a few years later, Hansha had grown into a strong, solitary bull that did not get along with other cattle and needed his own attendant. Though he eventually did farm work, Hansha maintained his independent spirit. - Watching their mischievous grandson play reminded the author of Hansha and triggered memories of their carefree childhood in the village.
