00:00 [Music]
00:20 Once upon a time, in sunny Spain, there was a little boy named Ferdinando.
00:29 All the other kids he lived with ran and jumped, giving him a good beating.
00:34 But not like this, Ferdinando.
00:37 He had his favorite corner out of the grass, under a tree.
00:42 He sat quietly under his shadow all day and smelled the flowers.
00:49 Sometimes his mother, who was a cow, was worried about him.
00:54 She was afraid he was alone and helpless.
00:58 "Hey, Ferdinando, why don't you play with the other kids for a while,
01:03 and give them a good beating?"
01:05 But Ferdinando shook his head.
01:08 "I'd rather stay here, where I can be calm and smell the flowers."
01:16 And as he was a very understanding mother, even though he was a cow,
01:21 he let him sit there and be happy.
01:27 Years passed, and Ferdinando grew and grew and grew,
01:32 until he became a big and strong bull.
01:36 The other bulls wanted to be selected for the races held in Madrid.
01:41 But not Ferdinando.
01:43 He still liked to sit quietly under the cornucopia and smell the flowers.
01:50 One day, five men arrived with funny hats to take the biggest,
01:54 fastest and bravest bulls for a race.
02:01 All the other bulls ran and ran,
02:04 so that the men would think they were the strongest and might take them.
02:13 But not Ferdinando.
02:15 He knew they wouldn't choose him, and he didn't worry.
02:19 So he went to his favorite cornucopia and sat there.
02:22 But he didn't look where he was sitting, and he did it on a bull.
02:32 Ferdinando ran and ran, and he was dressed like a madman.
02:38 The five men saw him and screamed with joy.
02:41 "Look at that one!"
02:48 "Great!"
02:49 "Excellent!"
02:50 "Magnificent!"
02:51 "Ferdinando!"
02:52 "The one we were looking for!"
02:53 "Hurray!"
02:56 So they took him to the square in a car.
03:03 What a great day!
03:05 The flags were waving and the band was playing.
03:16 The parade began in an unusual way.
03:22 First came the squad.
03:30 Then the pickers.
03:36 And finally the bull.
04:01 Can you guess who it was?
04:08 Ferdinando.
04:09 "Bravo!"
04:11 They called him Ferdinando the Fierce.
04:13 The squad ran in fright.
04:15 The pickers were afraid of him, and the killer was paralyzed by fear.
04:20 When Ferdinando saw the beautiful flowers, he ran to the square.
04:24 And everyone screamed, thinking he would attack the killer.
04:28 But when he got to the square, he sat down and smelled the flowers.
04:35 The squad was furious.
04:37 The pickers were even more so.
04:39 But the killer was a real volcano.
04:41 "What's wrong with you, brave man?"
04:44 "Let's go, bull!"
04:50 The bull started to make some horrible noises.
04:53 But Ferdinando sat down, smelling the flowers.
05:02 The bull was furious.
05:05 He cut his sword, kicked it, and pulled his hair.
05:11 But Ferdinando sat quietly, smelling the flowers.
05:16 The killer begged him, "Please, please, do something! Do something! Come on, attack me!"
05:32 "I'm a bastard! I couldn't even use my capote or my sword! Oh, my mother!"
05:43 So they took Ferdinando back to the field.
05:50 And so he continues, sitting quietly under his favorite alcornoque, smelling the flowers, and being very happy.
