Pictured: The moment a cow jumped over a woman (and the donkey collapsed with a fit of the giggles)
It looked like a scene from a comedy sketch show - the moment a cow attempted to leap over a woman - and the donkey she was with appeared to collapse to the floor laughing.
This bizarre sequence of pictures shows the cow spotting a lush patch of grass and bolting towards it for a quick feed.
The fact that peasant woman and owner of the cow, 68-year-old Rositza Kasaboba, was in the way did not deter Dana the hungry bovine, who simply attempted to hurdle her.
Thankfully Rositza was virtually unscathed by the incident and managed a grin as she picked herself up off the floor.
Surprise: All of a sudden the cow rears up and mounts the old woman
EnlargeUp: The cow's weight pushes the woman to the ground
Almost there: Heading for the green grass by the side of the road the cow tramples over the woman, while her donkey and another cow look on
And over: the woman is left in a heap by the road as a stunned friend watches the scene unfold
Unfortunately the cow, named Dana, will not get off so lightly after her antics - and will now become Christmas dinner for the woman's family.
Rositza, from the village of Krustatitsa in Bulgaria, said: "My cow has never done such a thing before and has left me battered and bruised.
"Worst of all - even my donkey collapsed afterwards on the ground, I am sure it was laughing at me."
It's all too much for the woman's donkey, which appears to collapse to the ground with a fit of the giggles
Unhurt: But Rositza Kasaboba plans to turn Dana into sausages
