Kubi lived quietly in a small farm in a Vietnamese village, accompanied by good friends. Every day was an adventure. Riding on his friend Ang, a large water buffalo, they plowed the muddy fields so that rice could be planted. One night, there was a big party on the farm to celebrate the Vietnamese New Year, Tet.
