I didn't expect it to be a hit
At the end of our street was a slaughterhouse, and sheep on their way to slaughter often passed our door. Once, I remember, a sheep escaped and ran down the street to the delight of all who watched. Some ran to catch it, others fell to the ground themselves. When I saw the fun and the chaos around me, I laughed with joy and thought it was hilarious.
