In Madrid, a bullfighting2 was just over. And a famous matador3 was seriously wounded. Not too long after he was taken to a hospital in stretchers4, he was found walking out of the hospital with bandages all over his body.
I am determined to take a revenge, the matador announced to the many fans of him who were gathering at the gate of the hospital, and then he started to walk forward along the street. People were following him, not knowing what he was going to do.
The matador walked into a restaurant, sat at one table and ordered the waiter, "Please give me 2 roast beef, burned to its utmost!"
