Where the Buffalo Came From

According to Vietnamese legend, after God created the world and before he created people, he sent an angel to plant rice so that humans would have something to eat. But the angel got drunk, fell asleep, and never completed his task. When he woke up, grass had grown everywhere and God was mad.

To punish the angel, God turned him into a buffalo and sentenced him to helping mankind till the earth.
