Farmer Peyne’s bull, Ford, was peacefully grazing in the meadow surrounded by a fence. A sign said–‘Don’t tease the bull’. But the group of little boys admiring Ford couldn’t read. “He’s beautiful, isn’t he?” said Tom. “Fine fellow!” breathed Mike admiringly. “His shoulders are simply huge!” added Kit. “He looks so peaceful,” suggested Oliver. “Shall we call him?” “Yes, let’s!” “Hi Ford! Here.” said Tom, holding out a tuft of grass. Ford looked up lazily and went on grazing. Tom climbed on the fence and tried walking on it. Ford watched him and suddenly decided to take a closer look. He began to walk and then run towards them. Tom yelled as he fell off the fence. Ford was thundering down as Tom scrambled to his feet. Seeing the enormous bull charging, Tom scurried like a rabbit under the fence and the other boys too ran for their lives!
