The Story of Ferdinand

Ferdinand is a little bull who much prefers sitting quietly under a cork tree – just smelling the flowers – to jumping around, snorting, and butting heads with other bulls. This cow is no coward – he simply has his pacifist priorities clear. As Ferdinand grows big and strong, his temperament remains mellow, until the day he meets with the wrong end of a bee. In a show of bovine irony, the one day Ferdinand is most definitely not sitting quietly under the cork tree (due to a frightful sting), is the selfsame day that five men come to choose the "biggest, fastest, roughest bull" for the bullfights in Madrid.
