Week 11 Reading Notes: The Patient Buffalo

The Story of a Patient Buffalo who was really did not care what other being did to him.

One day the buffalo was tired and he laid down underneath a tree so he can get away from sun for a while.  A monkey who was on that tree think of doing something naughty while the buffalo was taking a nap.  Monkey are very mischievous being who only like to have fun and nothing else beside that.  He started jumping on the back of the buffalo but the he did not mind and let him do as he please.  The buffalo thought it is just a butterfly because the weight of the monkey is not that much for buffalo.  This made the monkey to be more arrogant and started doing so many mischievous things.  The buffalo is still patient and never said anything to monkey and let him do as he please.


The buffalo was strong and had two horns which can pierce monkey and might kill him.  Looking at all this mischievous done by monkey to a buffalo.  A fairy came and told him why are you letting him do all of this stuff to you.  You have legs that can crush the rock and power that make lion stay away from you and horns which can take down the tree.  I feel like the fairy was looking for answer or trying to provoke him so that he can use his power to kill that monkey.  The buffalo was patient and he understand what he wants and what he does not.  Buffalo answered the fairy that he is monkey and he was born to do the mischievous things.  What would I get killing that little monkey and it was true there is nothing you can get by killing someone.  He said that monkey has little brain and do not understand much.  After hearing that answer fairy was happy and he cast a spell that will not let anyone suffer that buffalo again.  After that he stayed happily ever after.
