There
was man whose name was James and he had a barn which is where one
buffalo lived. He loved him more than anything and would not give him to
anyone even if they ask for more money.
James did not lived for money but
he lives for his buffalo so that he can stay happy and the only thing he was
able to do for him is feed and keep him safe from the rest of the world.
When he was kid, he used to go to his dad's friend house where he saw how
they treated the buffalo and that is why he do not want his precious buffalo to
get hurt. One day the monkey came and started harassing the buffalo and James went to barn to check on his precious buffalo. James can understand just
from looking at his buffalo's face that he was in trouble but did not know why. He kept going to barn if there is something
that is making him not happy but still he could not find the problem.
After that he kept doing the same thing for over a month. One day he just stayed there and finally able
to see what is troubling his buffalo. It
was monkey who was troubling him but his buffalo was nice and did not want to
hurt the monkey. He has more patient
than any other animal that James has ever seen and he was really happy but at
the same time sad. He wanted to help his
buffalo so that monkey would get away from his precious buffalo. He started praying that if there is any other
way where he can get rid of monkey. A
fairy appeared and asked him question why did you not shot the monkey with the
gun you had. James answer that if I had
kill that monkey, my buffalo would be really sad because if he wants to kill he
could have done that long time ago. My buffalo
did not do that so I did not want to do that too. After hearing that answer the fairy made sure
that they both stay happily ever after and nobody can harass James or his
buffalo.

Author Note: I did not made many changes to the story but added a man name James who take care of his buffalo. Some more detail which made him like his buffalo. The story is mostly similar with little changes.

Jeet, I liked the way you added more emotion to the interaction between James and the bull. While there is some interaction in the original story, you added an extra dimension to these emotions. The picture you added helped me picture the Buffalo, because it corrected my view of the American Buffalo I had in my mind.
ReplyDeleteHello again Jeet. I like that you kept the story the same. Sometimes when people change up the story they lose a lot of the meaning and purpose behind the original story. Why is it that the common characteristic given to buffalo in these stories is patience?
ReplyDeleteHi again! Through your story, readers can tell the emotional aspect that you incorporated into the story. Readers, including myself, can tell how much James loved his buffalo and how he was an overall nice person because he did not want to kill the monkey. I liked how you incorporated the image of the buffalo in this story because it gives readers a picture of what a buffalo looks like in India.
ReplyDeleteHi Jeet! I’m noticing a common theme in your stories of being nice to animals. I just watched a show this last weekend where a lot of horses were hurt in battle and it really bothered me even though it was fake. Your stories help me feel a little bit better! I noticed that your story had two different fonts, so you might consider going back in to edit mode and making it consistent. Nice job though!
