"This looks like a cow."
"Yes, but it is a Yak."
"Never heard about it."
"Welcome to the Himalayas."
The tourists were fascinated by Yak. They petted him and clicked pictures with him.
"Ah so much love," Yak felt good.
However, his happiness was short lived.
"Would you like to ride this animal?" the Guide asked. They nodded.
The tourists were thrilled sitting on the animal's back. The Guide calculated the profit he would be making due to this ride.
The Yak walked silently, his back hurting, yet careful not to be a cause of discomfort to his guests.
