Once upon a time, in a vast prairie, there was a herd of buffalo who lived peacefully. They were proud of their strong and swift bodies, and everyone envied the swiftest buffalo in the herd. One day, a stampede started, and all the buffalo ran as fast as they could to escape danger. The swiftest buffalo led the way, but soon realized that they were surrounded by a pack of wolves. The buffalo knew they had to act quickly to protect their sacred herd. So, they gathered together and cautiously started to move in a circle, facing outwards to defend themselves from the wolves. The wolves, seeing the strong and united herd, decided to back off, and the buffalo continued on their way, proud of their bravery and unity.
