Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Story of the Two Bulls" by John R. Bolles is a humorous narrative poem likely written in the mid-19th century. This light-hearted tale centers on a deacon and his pride in his cattle, particularly two bulls that come into conflict. The book serves as an entertaining fable that highlights the folly of pride and the unpredictable nature of life. The story follows a deacon who, despite being a man of peace, becomes captivated by the strength and appearance of his newly acquired spotted bull. When he leaves for a church service, he cannot suppress his curiosity about how the two bulls will interact. This leads to a chaotic and humorous series of events where the bulls engage in a fierce fight, causing destruction in the deacon's home. Ultimately, the tale culminates in the deacon's desperate attempts to manage the chaos and reflects on the consequences of his choices, imparting a moral lesson about temptation and the folly of pride.
