Toro embolado

Toro embolado is a traditional event that happens in some places in Spain and Mexico. It's when people chase and play with a bull that has its horns covered in balls of fire.

Imagine a big, strong bull with big horns. Usually, people stay away from the bull because it can be dangerous and might hurt them. But in a toro embolado, people try to get close to the bull, even though it has fire on its horns! The bull is usually chased by people who run after it, trying not to get caught.

The balls of fire on the bull's horns are there to make the game more fun and exciting. But don't worry, the bull is not hurt or mistreated in any way. It's just a game that has been played for a long time, and people enjoy watching it and participating in it.

Remember though, it's not safe to try something like this at home! Only trained professionals should do it with the proper safety equipment and precautions in place to ensure no one gets hurt.
