Who Am I?

I'm a Longhorn bull born in Spain in the early summer of 1936. My name is Ferdinand.

I spent much of my youth in a beautiful pasture, sitting under a cork tree, smelling the flowers. Through a confrontation with a bumblebee and a subsequent misunderstanding, a group from Madrid selected me to participate in a sporting event. I however I was not suited to the task. As I left the arena several members of the opposing team, called Banderollos and Picadores I think, were seen banging their heads on the ground. Another fellow, called a Matador, fell on his own sword in frustration. Strange behavior I would say. At any rate I emigrated to America shortly thereafter and have been teaching ever since.

Hobbies and Interests

Computing, is an abiding interest for me. Next to smelling flowers of course.

I'm sure your children would enjoy the book by Mundo Leaf, illustrated by Robert Lawson, and published by Viking Press that journals the bumblebee event mentioned above.

Note the border="0". This removes the colored border associated with images used as links.
