He was the director of the fighting show. He says he wants the bulls who can fight nicely. This time for my fighting competition I want a strong Bull. That will immediately defeat the Bull in front of it. Here this Bullfighting starts, Seeing this, the brown bull was excited because it was thinking that today It will defeat Ferdinand and will become the hero of all. But this was impossible. Because an arrogant and wicked bull can't be a hero of anyone. All bulls start fighting there. There was a bull having a neck of red color, seeing them while fighting, it gets faint. Because it has no courage to fight with those huge bulls.
