Story of Ferdinand , The

$7.99
Most bulls in Spain hope to be selected by a matador for the bull ring; but not Ferdinand the bull. Other young bulls practice fighting; they run and jump and butt their heads together. But, Ferdinand would rather sit and smell the flowers. One day he gets stung by a bee and his snorting and stomping convinces everyone that he is the fiercest bull around. So, he is taken to a bullfight in Madrid. Ferdinand trots into the ring, only to sit and smell the flowers in the ladies hair. No one can get Ferdinand to fight. He is a lesson that it is okay not to follow the crowd.
