Do you know how the tiger got its stripes? Why the water buffalo has no upper teeth? And what does man have to do with it all? This bilingual book invites you to get to know the ancient Vietnamese folktale "The water buffalo, the tiger and the farmer," which is known by almost every child in Vietnam.

The book is particularly interesting for children with Vietnamese roots, so they will not forget their heritage. But also all other readers can learn more about Vietnam.
