Dwarf
73. Buffalo Name

"That's called Partox."

"Partox?"

The sound of laughter was heard making Saoda turn to look at the figure of Tuo who now looks laughing as if this is a funny thing. Puang Dodi who saw his son laughing was also provoked to make a small laugh managed to loos from his mouth.

"His name Patrox means he's Petrox's brother?" saoda asked made Tuo frown in confusion.

"Reporty?"

"Yes, the name of the Buffalo was Patrox and this Petrox means he was brothers because his name is almost the same. Aye, right? Am I wrong?"

"Ah, i-i-iya you're right. Two are brothers, so that's why they're almost the same name."

Saoda smiled happily. The trap is true. Saoda now looked back at the other buffalo.

"Pour!"

"Yes?"

"Who's the other buffalo's name?"

Puang Dodi was surprised instead of playing. He should lie again. Even he had no supply of names to mention when Saoda asked.

Puang Dodi who had been thinking that since then was now glancing at Tuo who looked like he was smiling mischievously towards him.

"I don't know, son. It's not me who owns the buffalo, it's Tuo."

Tuo who heard that made Tuo stupefied in shock. What did his father say? He tried to turn the matter to her.

Saoda turned his head to look at the panicked Tuo immediately smiled stiffly.

"You got this much buffalo?"

"Emmm, yes. I have it, "the answer while scratching his non-itchy head.

"Well, you're so good at having a lot of buffalo like this."

Tuo simply nodded then sat down on the grass with his gaze staring at the tens of his buffalo.

Saoda turned to look at Dodi's puang who was now moving her hand towards Dodi as if trying to get Saoda to approach Tuo.

"Just go there and ask him the name of the buffalo!" her door.

"He doesn't know."

"Not knowing. He's just lying" he replied pointing.

Saoda smiled again then ran towards Tuo making Puang Dodi smile widely. Finally he was free from Saoda's question which he thought was a scary question. How could there be such a weird question. He never even thought of giving his buffalo a name.

Puang Dodi laid his body on the grass while making his hands as a pillow and black hat that he made as a cover for his face so that the bright light did not disturb his sleep.

"Tuo!" calling Saoda made Tuo turn his head.

He looked at Saoda who was sitting next to him.

"What's wrong?"

"Say dodi puang said you had all these buffalo?"

Tuo let out a short sigh and turned to look at his Father who was already lying there. He turned back to look at Saoda who had been silent since then while looking at him with a very serious face.

"Not that I have, but the two of us."

"Oh, huh?"

Tuo nodded small.

"It used to be said that you only have two tails and breed into many like this," he explained.

"Are the two buffaloes Pertrox and Patrox?"

Tuo frowned confusedly. What this girl said.

"Who?" ask Tuo.

"Yes, that buffalo," he replied.

Tuo sighed again.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Then what's the name of the buffalo-you're the other?"

"Which one?"

"Everything."

"Everything?"

"Yes everything."

Tuo was silent for a moment. Honestly, he was thinking hard to try to find an answer.

"But all these buffalo have no name."

"Do you want them to be sad for not having a name?"

"If they are sad and don't eat grass, they will starve and then they will all die."

Tuo gawked at Saoda. He never expected that sentence would be thrown from the mouth that since yesterday did not want to talk to him.

"The buffalo will not die of envy and then be sad and die just because they have no name."

"really?"

Tuo nodded while Saoda was now silent with his face so confused as to not believe what Tuo was saying.

"Yes what I said is true. You don't know because you don't have a buffalo."

Hearing that Saoda just nodded.

"Then that little buffalo doesn't have a name?"

Saoda pointed towards the small buffalo who was busy feeding on its mother.

"No, he doesn't have a name."

"Why isn't there? It seems good that he has a name and it seems funny to be given a name."

"I don't have a name to give him."

Saoda was silent for a moment.

"Do you want me to help you give you a name?"

Tuo frowned confusedly.

"Yes, you just do it!"

Hearing that made Saoda smile happily. He looked up and knocked on his chin. This time he was really thinking of finding a suitable name for the buffalo boy.

"How about the name of the buffalo we just give it with a million Arfah?"

"Arphah?"

Saoda nodded making Tuo frown in confusion. That name sounds strange.

"Why? What's the name ugly?"

"No, it's just that it's like a human name and it doesn't seem to fit that little buffalo."

"Emmm, then Sasa?"

"Sasa?"

"Yes Sasa."

"It's also a name that's suitable for humans."

"Then?"

"I don't know either," Tuo replied as he shook his head.

"Then do you have a name for that little buffalo?"

Hearing that, it was now Tuo's turn to think silently.

"We'll just give it a name it's Bogong?"

"Bogongs?"

"Yes, Bogong. It seems like the name is funny."

"Funny what. The name even sounds so rude."

"Rude?"

Saoda nodded making Tuo let out a long sigh. Does that name sound rude? He thought the name was good.

"But wait! Is your buffalo male or female?" ask Saoda.

"That's a female."

"Betina? How do you know?"

Tuo who had just been silently glancing towards Saoda immediately got up from his seat and stepped towards the small buffalo.

"He doesn't have this!" Point Tuo towards the bottom of the male buffalo and switch to raise the legs of the small buffalo so that it can be seen by Saoda who now both eyes look at him with full serious eyes.

"That's what?" tanyakanya.

Tuo who heard that was only able to stare with his face that now looked flat without expression. How could this little girl ask what she was pointing at.

What to answer now? He was too embarrassed to even mention that name. Tuo scratched his non-itchy head with his feelings full of worry. Does he have to answer Saoda's question. Even those who lie don't know what to answer.

Tuo looked at his father who was still lying down. He smiled slightly after his cunning intentions reappeared.

"You ask my father! He knows."
