Creative Writing: Water Buffalo

It was a beautiful day in the jungle, and I was admiring how his golden coat looked in the sunlight. But, the harsh sunlight also makes my throat dry. I decided to go down to the watering hole and get some water. On my way there, I saw Water Buffalo working for a strange animal I have never seen before. He didn’t have claws, fangs, or even beautiful Golden Fur. Water Buffalo is the only animal in the jungle I am afraid of. It didn’t make sense to me that the mighty Water Buffalo, whom even I was afraid of, would word for such a small and weird animal. The small animal was making Water Buffalo plow the fields.
