True story of the Crying Bull
The Bull Who Cried:
Knowing it was about to be
slaughtered, a bull in Hong Kong did what many people fail to realize or
are skeptic about when it comes to animals – he showed emotion.As
reported by “Weekly World News”, a group of workers walked a bull to a
packaging factory. They were about to slaughter him to make steaks and
beef stews. When they were close to the front door of the slaughter
house, the sorrowful bull suddenly stopped going forward and knelt down
on his two front legs. The bull… was all in tears.
How did he know he was going to get killed before he entered the slaughter house? He is even smarter than people.
Mr. Shiu, a butcher recalled, “When I saw this kind of so-called “stupid” animal sobbing and with his eyes in fear and sorrow, I started trembling.” “I called the rest over to see. They were just as surprised. We kept pushing the bull forward, but he just didn’t want to move and sat there crying.”
Billy Fong, owner of the packaging factory said, “People thought animals didn’t cry like human beings. However that bull really sobbed like a baby.” At that time, more than ten strong men witnessed the scene and they were all touched. Those who were responsible for slaughtering even felt more touched and teared as well.
Other workers working at the same slaughter house also came to see the crying bull. It was all packed with people. They were all shock by this scene. Three of them said they would never forget this crying bull when they slaughter other animals.
With both man and animal crying, everyone knew that nobody could kill the bull. The problem was, what should they do with him? In the end, they raised funds to buy this crying bull and sent him to a temple, where the kind monks would take care of him for life.
After the workers had made a decision, a miracle happened. A worker said, “When we promised this bull that we will not kill him, he started moving and followed us.”
How did he understand people’s words?
Mr. Shiu said “Believe it or not? This is real although it sounds unbelievable.” No doubt, this bull changed these butchers’ lives.
Hopefully this story has in turn changed yours.

2. Feeling totally Helpless and crying out (just as we should always take shelter of the Supreme Lord)
