00:00The Intelligent Buffalo

00:09Once upon a time in a small village, there lived a farmer named Edgar.

00:15He lived in a small house and owned a small piece of land.

00:20Edgar had a buffalo named Bounty.

00:24It was an uncommon name but it came with its own reasons.

00:29You see, Edgar was a very poor man before he found his buffalo.

00:35Bounty worked really hard for his humans.

00:39Being the only buffalo, he would plow the whole field day in and day out

00:46and help Edgar with all sort of work.

00:49Edgar began to grow all sorts of grains in his field.

00:54Edgar gained a lot of respect in his neighborhood.

00:58Given the bountiful he received, he named his beloved buffalo Bounty.

01:05Bounty was a special buffalo.

01:10He was intelligent and always full of life.

01:14Edgar knew that Bounty was a free-spirited animal.

01:18He would often wander around when there was no work and come back home in the evening.

01:24As time passed, Edgar bought another buffalo.

01:29He loved Bounty dearly but he also realized that the workload was too much

01:35and was needed to be shared.

01:38Edgar didn't want to tire his animal.

01:41One day while plowing the field, Bounty sat midway and began to breathe heavily.

01:49Moo!

01:54Moo!

01:59Ah, Bounty!

02:01Edgar took both his buffalos back home.

02:04That night, Edgar could not sleep at all.

02:08He knew it was time to let Bounty go.

02:11The next day, he took Bounty to the forest and took the bell off his collar.

02:17Bounty happily shook his head.

02:20Bounty, you are a good buffalo.

02:24I will never be able to repay your debt.

02:27You don't have to work anymore.

02:30You are free now.

02:32I will always miss you, my friend.

02:35Go wander and explore the lands.

02:39Moo!

02:42Don't make me cry now.

02:45You can come home anytime you want.

02:48You know the way.

02:50Moo!

02:52Bounty was sad to leave his human but he was also excited to see what lay ahead.

02:58He walked merrily enjoying the fresh breeze.

03:01He roamed around in the forest with no fear.

03:05He drank water from streams and ate grass on the way.

03:09Soon, the sun began to set.

03:11It was getting dark.

03:13Bounty looked around for a safe place to rest.

03:16And there it was.

03:18That cave is right near the pond.

03:22Moo la la!

03:25This place is huge.

03:27It's pretty warm, too.

03:29Perfect for me to stay.

03:31Oh, boy!

03:34Am I tired or what?

03:36This whole wandering is going to make me slim like a giraffe.

03:41Bounty began to live in the cave.

03:44He would drink fresh water from the pond,

03:47graze nearby and sleep peacefully inside.

03:51Days passed and Bounty began to love his life in the forest.

03:57But being a domestic buffalo, Bounty was a simple and innocent animal.

04:03He wasn't aware that the forest was home to many animals.

04:07And not all of them were as innocent as he was.

04:11While Bounty happily carried on with his new life,

04:15there was someone who was keeping a watch on the buffalo,

04:19Timmy the Fox.

04:22Each day as Bounty left his cave to wander around,

04:26Timmy would tiptoe behind him everywhere.

04:29Bounty was always so engrossed in his day-to-day activities.

04:34He never felt Timmy's presence around.

04:37Hmm.

04:39This buffalo is pretty brave to roam around the forest all by himself.

04:45Well, either he is too brave or too stupid.

04:50I mean, does he even know whose cave he's living in?

04:55Let's have some fun.

04:58Well, hello, Timmy.

05:01Let's have some fun.

05:04Well, hello.

05:06Are you new here?

05:09I came to graze here every day now.

05:12I wouldn't call myself new.

05:15Oh, you are a witty little animal.

05:20A fox calling a buffalo little is witty indeed.

05:25How dare you make fun of me?

05:28I am the king of the forest.

05:30This is my cave you are living in.

05:33All the animals are at my mercy here.

05:37If you want to live, you will have to bow down to me.

05:44You are right.

05:45I am new here.

05:47But that doesn't mean I am stupid to believe everything you say.

05:51Listen, Fox.

05:53I know you are not king of this forest.

05:56In fact, I am sure you don't even know how big this forest is.

06:01I suggest you stop wasting my time.

06:06Timmy was seething inside.

06:09He shivered with anger.

06:11He swore that one day he will seek revenge for his insult.

06:15Bounty, on the other hand, realized that he will have to be more cautious now.

06:21That cunning fox knows where I live.

06:24That means he is keeping a watch on me?

06:27Hmm.

06:28Also, I don't think about this before.

06:31But that cave must belong to somebody.

06:34What will I do once the rightful owner of that cave comes back?

06:39I will have to be more careful around here.

06:43That night, the moon shone brightly in the sky.

06:47As Bounty lay down inside the cave, he heard something.

06:52He peeped through a small hole and saw a strange shadow outside.

06:57First, he thought that the fox is back to trouble him again.

07:01But as the figure came closer, Bounty shivered with fear.

07:05It was the rightful owner, the tiger.

07:09Oh, no.

07:11Of course this cave belongs to the tiger.

07:14What do I do now?

07:16He will eat me up.

07:18As the tiger kept coming closer, Bounty could not stop shivering.

07:25Wait.

07:26Wait.

07:27Think clearly.

07:29Calm down.

07:33Aha!

07:34I can see him, but he can't see me.

07:37That's my advantage.

07:42Here he comes.

07:45Huh?

07:48Shh.

07:49What is wrong with you?

07:51He will hear us.

07:53All right.

07:54Sorry.

07:55But look how delicious he looks.

07:57Didn't I tell you the one who lives here is big enough for both of us to eat?

08:03All right.

08:04You were right.

08:06Our dinner for today is sorted.

08:10Absolutely.

08:13It was the tiger's turn to shiver with fear.

08:17Who?

08:18Who are these animals?

08:22Why did he stop?

08:23This is taking too long, and I am too hungry.

08:26Why don't we go out and attack him instead?

08:29He can't fight both of us.

08:35The trick worked.

08:37Without another thought, Tiger leapt across the forest.

08:40Bounty was relieved.

08:42He now knew the importance of keeping calm in any given situation.

08:48The next day, as Timmy was loitering in the forest,

08:52he bumped into the tiger.

09:00You scared me.

09:02Scared?

09:04Wait, I scared you?

09:06But you're a tiger.

09:09Yeah, yeah, I know.

09:11I am the big cat of the jungle.

09:14But you are a fool if you think there are no bigger and scarier animals than me here.

09:22I ran into two of those last night.

09:25They have captured my cave.

09:27I will have to look for a new den.

09:30Wait, what?

09:32The one living in your cave is bigger and scarier than you are?

09:37Are you kidding me?

09:39It was a buffalo.

09:41And what do you mean, two?

09:44There is only one buffalo living in there.

09:47You think I am a fool to run away from a buffalo?

09:52There are two huge beings in there.

09:56Beings?

09:59Yeah, I don't really know who or what they are.

10:03I didn't enter the cave.

10:05Just heard their voices.

10:07They were going to attack me.

10:09I ran away before they could.

10:13You poor tiger.

10:15He played you.

10:17There is no being in there.

10:19It's a buffalo.

10:21I am keeping a watch on him ever since he set his foot in this forest.

10:27Shut up, fox.

10:29How dare you insult me.

10:31You think I am stupid to mistake a buffalo for a scary animal?

10:37I can prove it to you.

10:39You are not his prey.

10:41He is your prey.

10:44Let's do one thing.

10:46I will come with you.

10:48We will enter that cave and I will help you capture whoever is inside.

10:53I want to settle a score with that arrogant buffalo anyway.

10:58But, in return for your cave, I want you to promise that you will never attack me.

11:07Hmm.

11:08Are you telling the truth?

11:10But wait.

11:11What if you run away, leaving me behind?

11:15Um, I know.

11:18Let's tie a rope around ourselves.

11:21One end to your stomach and the other to mine.

11:25That way, you can pull me back if I try to run.

11:29Deal?

11:30The tiger agreed.

11:32They both tied a rope around themselves and began to walk towards the cave.

11:37Fox was happy.

11:39He had found a way to do both.

11:42Teach Bounty a lesson and earn trust of the tiger.

11:46As they approached the cave, Bounty saw them coming.

11:50As soon as he saw the fox, he understood what was going on.

11:56Hmm.

11:58He thinks he is smart?

12:01Now, let me handle this, okay?

12:03Enter the cave only when I ask you to.

12:08You stupid fox!

12:11I asked you to bring me two tigers and you bring me only one?

12:17Huh?

12:19What?

12:21We haven't eaten anything since last night and now you want us both to share one tiger between us?

12:30Hmm.

12:31You work for them?

12:33No, no, no.

12:35This is not true.

12:37Ah, you are good for nothing.

12:39Fine.

12:40Bring him here now.

12:42No!

12:46Tiger leapt for his life.

12:48He was so scared that he didn't care about Timmy who was tied to the other end of the rope.

12:54Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow.

12:56This hurts.

12:58Ha, ha, ha, ha.

13:00This will teach that fox.

13:02I have learnt a very important lesson today.

13:05Had I not kept myself calm, I could not have been able to chase those two away.

13:11No matter how difficult the situation gets, we must always stay calm.

13:17Bounty was right.

13:19Only because he stayed calm in every difficult situation was he able to help himself.

13:27And as for the fox...

13:29Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow.

13:31No!

13:35He must have learnt his lesson too.
