The Taurus is fed up with the farm owner’s son wanting to engage him in mimicking all that he watches on TV. One day, while copying a bullfighting round, the son gets slightly rammed by the Taurus. When he hears about the incident, the farm owner uses a cane to hit the animal on the shoulder as punishment for hurting his son. Incapable of bearing further brutality, the Taurus and his friend the Donkey who has also had it with the extra loads he carries on his back every day, decide to flee the domestic animal life and the injustice of humans and to return to the freedom of the wilderness.

Seizing the opportunity the two animals flee at full speed towards the faraway fields, excited at the thought of grazing vast lands and savoring freedom and comfort.

During their leisure trip, a tiger gets in their way and has them shivering in fear and running for their lives. Facing recurrent threats from predatory animals, the two friends become stuck in a spiral of horror. This drags on until winter arrives and no grass is left for them to feed on. Wild animals which in turn run out of food in winter start to double their attacks on the Taurus and the Donkey, and had it not been for the sharp horns of the Taurus, they would have fallen prey for the three wolves which assaulted them.

In view of the serious injuries that the Donkey has sustained, the two friends realize that it is time to do a reality check, reassess their elopement decision and return to the farm: “Our life at the farm is not slavery. We work with the farmer and he provides for us all year round, mainly during winter. He even offers us shelter from the ferocity of predatory animals and medicine when we fall sick.”

Upon their arrival, the farmer gives them a warm-hearted welcome and allows them a one-month break until they recover fully.
