“And so I’m going to run away,” he decided. “I’ll get over or through the fence, somehow, and see what’s on the other side.”
Shaggo, like many of the other buffaloes, had never been outside the fence. Shaggo had been born inside, and had never been allowed to go out.
“But I’m going now,” he told himself, as he walked down the hill and over toward the others of the herd. By this time the “fun fight” between Rumpo and Bumpo was over. Bumpo had won, having knocked down Rumpo more times than Rumpo had knocked him down.
[Shaggo was looking for a hole in the fence.]
“Oh, Shaggo, you should have seen it!” bellowed Poko, as he ran up alongside of the big buffalo.
“Yes, you surely missed it!” echoed Soako. “It was a great fun fight.”
“I guess I didn’t miss much,” replied Shaggo. “I had a good time off by myself.”
