Or was he making this up for the sake of fascinated listening eyes. Ever wondered, why water buffalo’s don’t have lower teeth and never smile as everyone around them? They used to carry men. Work for them. Maybe work with them. Once the tiger came. Of course, the king of the jungle. Why do you carry this little man, he asked, you are strong and powerful and independant. The buffalo replied with respect, these little beings have good ideas, they are clever. What ideas, the tiger asked. The little man sitting on the buffalo’s back interfered, you want to know my ideas? I tell you one of my clever ideas. Come closer mighty creature and you will learn. And while you listen, I tie your hands and feet, he proposed. The tiger agreed, was captured. And burned to death. How horrible, how mean. But wait. The buffalo was smiling, then laughing, he just couldn’t stop. He was laughing so hard that he fell down and crushed his chin losing his teeth. Did you ever think about this?
