14、前在西班牙有一头小公牛，他的名字叫费德南。和他生活在一起的伙伴们都喜欢到处乱跑并用头斗来斗去，只有他喜欢静静地坐在一边，吻花朵的花香。他最喜欢吻花香的地方是在牧场的一棵大树下。那是他最喜爱的树，他会坐在树荫下吻上一整天。他的妈妈有时候很担心他，怕他一个人坐在那里很孤单。于是问他”你为什么不和其他公牛玩，斗呢？”费德南摇摇说：“我还是比较喜欢安静地坐在这里吻花香。”他的妈妈见他并不孤单，就让他坐在那里做他喜欢的事（尽管他的妈妈是头牛，但非常开明）。一年年过去，费德南长成了又高又强壮的大公牛。他的那些少年伙伴们还是在同一个牧场里成天斗来斗去，为的就是让斗牛士选去在马德里斗牛场角斗。只有费德南还是老
15、样子，仍静静地坐在那棵树下吻花香。有一天来了五个人，都带着很奇特的帽子，他们是为挑选马德里斗牛场的公牛而来的，他们要在牧场里挑选长得最大，跑得最快，斗起来最凶的公牛。所有其它的公牛都拿出自己角斗的看家本领角斗，希望自己被选中。费德南知道不会轮到他，所以照旧像往常一样走到那棵树下去吻花香。不料，这次他一不留神，没坐到他常坐的那个树荫下，却坐在了黄蜂身体上。你可以想象一头公牛坐在黄蜂上会出现一幕什么情景？黄蜂使劲地叮费德南，被叮的费德南像疯了似的上窜下跳赶黄蜂走。这幕情景恰巧被那五个人看到，他们兴奋地大叫起来，因为费德南就是他们要为马德里找的最大，最凶的公牛。于是他们把费德南弄上推车把他带走。斗牛的那天到了，到处是旗帜飞扬，鼓乐奏响 女士们头上都插满了鲜花。开场了，斗牛士们以检阅队的形式进入斗牛场，走在最前的是手持用绸带裹着的长标枪（长标枪用来刺公牛，让公牛发疯）斗牛士;接着是手持长矛骑在马上的斗牛士（长矛也是用来刺公牛，让公牛更发疯）;再接着进场的是真正要与牛斗的斗牛士，他觉得自己很英俊，向在场的女士们鞠躬致礼。这位斗牛士还备有红披风和一把剑，要在最后一个阶段来刺公牛；最后出场的是公牛，你当然猜出来，他就是 - 费德南。斗牛士们都认定费德南是最凶的公牛，所以都有点怕他。当费德南走到斗牛场中间时，观众席上发出震耳欲聋的欢呼声和掌声，观
