For a moment, I forgot about the dying horse. I mean Genghis Khan had his balls cut right off. I've never heard that in my life. Kind of a Lorena Bobbit thing. If you don't believe me, ask around.
Someone here is bound to know the whole story.
On the hoof-trampled plain in front of us, the horse had stopped its spasms. The veterinarians waved in a front-end loader, which rumbled up and unceremoniously plunked the dead horse into a big Russian garbage truck. Unable to resist, the bearded photographer loaded another roll of film and jogged off to capture the best angle. After watching the garbage truck drive off with the stiffening horse in the back, it was several hours before I could shake the macabre image from my mind. The mysterious question of Genghis Khan's missing testicles, on the other hand, nagged me for weeks.
