The Buffalo goes to look for the Rhinoceros and, having found him, told him everything in order from beginning to end. And then he said:
“The bull advised me to turn to you for help.” So I ask you to destroy my enemy Tiger. I believe in your strength and invulnerability, all forest animals are afraid of you.
Rhinoceros replied:
- All this is true, I am not afraid to measure my strength with the Tiger. Just look how thick my skin is and how strong my bones are! No matter how bloodthirsty the Tiger is, I am not afraid of him, as long as he attacks from the front! But he does not dare to fight honestly. He's being cunning! He avoids the fight, hides in the bushes, and then attacks from behind. His body is flexible, and he easily jumps from place to place. If he scratches my eyes with his sharp claws, then I won’t even have time to butt him. I can only run straight, I don’t know how to weave and quickly rush from side to side. If he attacks me, what should I do then? Who will decide to come to my rescue and fight the Tiger? It is clear that I will be defeated - after all, he uses vile tricks. But there is one smart animal - this is Kentus. He is famous for his keen ingenuity and, of course, will be able to help you! I think he will do whatever it takes.
“So I should go to Kentus and not count on your help?”
- Yes, better go to him, listen to my advice!
