犀の背中 (A Stroll with a Rhino)

But my reward was not a worldly benefit such as that. Rather, it was simply being told that I could ride on his back.

The back of a rhino is surprisingly unstable. I positioned my behind into a space on his lumped-up backside and clung on in a spot where I could be within arms-reach of the line of his two horns.

They're coarse to the touch.
