One day the farmer said, “I can get more from my farm
if my carabao works all day and my cow works all
night.” This went on for a month 'til finally, the carabao
cried, “It is just too hot to work all day!” “Want to go
for a swim?” asked the cow. “It will cool you off.” The
carabao happily agreed. They went off without the
farmer’s consent.
Before swimming, they hung their skins on a
tree branch. But it wasn’t long till the farmer
went looking for them. Upon seeing the
farmer, they rushed to put on their skins. In
their rush, the carabao had worn the cow’s
skin and the cow had worn the carabao’s
skin.
From then on, cows have sagging skin while
carabaos have tight skin.
