Post Summary:

I've just watched over a water buffalo: if it went off the path into the weeds, then I pulled it out; if it invaded people's plantings, then I disciplined it with a whip. Eventually it came to accept human speech nicely. Now it has turned into a white ox on open ground, always present, standing out all day long, not going away even if chased.
