33. Bernice and a Water Buffalo

Bernice and I have been asked to give a lecture at a Scientific Optic Institute at Bai City (White City). We take a walk out in the countryside and encounter an old farmer with his grandson tending a water buffalo. They are very nice to us and we are curious about these beasts. Only the Chinese have the patience to use water buffaloes as beasts of burden.
