Twenty Jataka Tales, by Noor InayatThe Patient Buffalo:
There was a buffalo lazing by a tree. A monkey saw him there and decided he wanted to make him angry so he jumped on his back, swung around his horns, and trampled his grazing grass but the buffalo did nothing. The monkey continued to bother him for some time until a fairy appeared and asked him why he put up with the monkey. The buffalo says the money is weak and stupid so it is not worth it to make him unhappy for the buffalo's own happiness. The fairy is pleased with this answer and gives him a charm that will prevent anyone from bothering him again and drives the money away.
