- Abstract
- en_US This 24-page two-staple pamphlet is sixth in the collection of 20 listed on the back cover. 7½" x 6¾". In the first story, leaders of two warring groups decide to have the outcome decided by a buffalo fight. Sumaterans decide to have one hungry young buffalo do their fighting. He defeats one (or all?) of the Majapahits buffaloes. Now the Sumaterans shape the roofs of their buildings and their women's headgear after the buffalo's horn. The second story is something of a pourquoi story. Two dogs fail to protect a man's house and decide to go elsewhere. A pet cat informs on them and they are beaten. "That is why, till today, dogs and cats are still enemies." Partial-page and full-page illustrations alternate.
