Unlike the other bulls in Spain, Ferdinand does not like to fight. He would rather sit underneath his favorite tree and sniff flowers. But Ferdinand is stung by a bee at the exact moment that some men come by in search of a fierce bull for the fights. When they see Ferdinand leaping and jumping, they assume he is the fiercest bull around, and Ferdinand ends up being taken to the bullfighting stadium in Madrid. But will Ferdinand fight? Illustrated with b&w drawings.
