The Story of the Two Bulls

This comic verse tale follows a deacon who becomes fixated on owning the best bull in town. When he arranges to compare his new bull with another, the animals clash violently, sending the deacon racing through his house and causing a great uproar. The story ends with the deacon’s embarrassment and a moral about resisting temptation and avoiding foolish choices.
