What a day it was! Flogs were flying, bands were playing, and all the lovely ladies had flowers in their hair. Just the one for the bull fights in Madrid! So they took him away for the bull fight day in a cart. Here was the largest and fiercest bull of all. The five men saw him and they all shouted with joy. He ran around puffing and snorting, butting and pawing the ground as if he was crazy. Wow! Did it hurt! Ferdinand jumped up with a snort.
Well, if you were a bumble bee and a bull s it on you what would you do? You would sting him and that’s just what this bee did to Ferdinand. He didn’t look where he was sitting and instead of sitting on the nice cool grass in the shade he sat on a bumble bee. So he went out to his favorite cork tree to sit down.
Ferdinand knew that they wouldn’t pick him and he didn’t care. All the other bulls ran around snorting and butting, leaping and jumping so the men would think that they were very, very strong and fierce and pick them. One day, five men came in very funny hats to pick the biggest, fastest, roughest bull to fight in the bull fights in Madrid.
