We were standing on the side of one of the main road to the hospital. We were watching and waiting for the guy to transfer credit to a prepaid phone. Suddenly, I heard a commotion moving along the road.
I looked up to see about four young guys running with a log on their shoulders. The two front guys had the pole on opposite shoulders and the same for the rear two guys. The log was a freshly cut small tree slightly smaller than a bread plate. They looked like Roman soldiers carrying their leader.
To my surprise and shocked, they had something wrapped in a green cloth tied under the pole. As they passed, you could make out it was body securely wrapped in a piece of the cloth.
I just stood there in shock. But everyone else did not look up at the commotion. I guess its like major city dwellers don't really pay attention the sound of constant sirens.
The rural bush ambulance had passed before I recognized it. It is followed by another 4-6 guys who could serve as fresh carriers.
Later as we went home, we met the doctor walking to the hospital.
