Stages of Life Your Stories from Abroad I was staying in Madgascar with a family when they invited me to their daughter s wedding. On the big day, I arrived outside an enormous tent. There was a zebu at the entrance and it looked miserable. Inside the tent, there were beautiful decorations. Over 300 excited relatives and guests were waiting for the bride and groom to arrive. The women wore colorful dresses. The older men wore gorgeous suits, but the younger men were dressed less formally. I even saw jeans and T-shirts. Finally, the ceremony began with some very long and sometimes full speeches. But the crowd listened politely and sometimes laughed and applauded. Finally, it was dinner and I suddenly realized what the zebu was for. We ate from huge plates of meat. I felt sorry for the zebu but the meat was delicious!
