The Hen & the Bull

Lei Zhang

I read a book named The Hen & the Bull. This book has two stories. Both of them are short.
In the hen story, conflict between friends occurs because of a good hen. All of them benefit from quarrels. Little things are quickly magnified.
The bull story is about a farmer and an artist who become friends after a disagreement. The artist likes drawing animals and he is famous for drawing bulls. He wants to use his picture to exchange for a bull with the farmer, but the farmer refuses . Bulls like play games (e.g. running and jumping), and unfortunately, the bull hurts the artist's leg and the farmer has to look after the artist. Finally, the artist and farmer reconcile.
A lot of people benefit from friction. They don't understand that friends are important to us . Family and friends are all we need in our lifetime.
