In "The Bull" by Saki, the story revolves around two half-brothers, Tom and Laurence Yorkfield, who embody contrasting lifestyles and values. Tom is a practical farmer, proud of his small herd and particularly of a vigorous young bull named Clover Fairy, which he believes is a valuable asset. In contrast, Laurence is an aspiring artist who paints animals, including bulls, but feels superior due to his artistic pursuits.
