American bull riders came to pay their respects in Sunset, Texas earlier this week, but there was a problem.
The parents of Amadeu Campos Silva, a 22-year-old Brazilian bull rider killed a week ago when a bull stomped on his chest at a Professional Bull Riders (PBR) event in Fresno, California, do not speak English.
So, outside their mobile home in the small rural town, a retired Brazilian bull rider translated as the parents told a story about Silva. He was 7 and his family was facing eviction from their home in Brazil, the parents explained.
Silva knew of a dairy farm with an old, abandoned house on it. He found the owner. Later that day, the owner came to visit Silva’s parents.
