The Smartest Animal ( 最聪明的动物) There was once a farmer who plowed ( 犁地 ) his field every morning and every evening with his buffalo( 水牛 ). One day a tiger( 老虎 )saw the farmer and buffalo working together. The tiger was surprised to see such a big animal obeying ( 服从) such a small one. He was curious about the buffalo and the man. After the man went home, the tiger went up to the buffalo and said, I want to ask you something. You are so big and strong. Why do you obey the little man? The buffalo answered, " Because the man is so intelt( 聪明 ). Then the tiger asked, Can you tell me how intelt he is?" No, I can’t tell you, the buffalo said, but why don’t you ask him?" The next day the tiger asked the man to show him his intelce. But the man answered that it was at home. The tiger asked the man to go home and get it. The man said he would, but he would have to tie up (捆绑) the tiger so he couldn't hurt the buffalo. The tiger agreed. But after he tied the tiger up, the man didn't go home to get his intelce. Instead, he took his plow and hit the tiger with it. Then he said, "Now you know about my intelce, even if you haven't seen it” 。
