The cow was grazing idly, looking bored. She was one of the many animals waiting for the other creatures to arrive at Noah's ark.

The water buffalo, standing nearby, was as bored as the cow. He was busy swatting away flies with his tail, waiting for the day to end.

The cow, restless, proposed a daring plan to the water buffalo. The idea was to sneak out to a hidden lake during midnight for a swim.

The water buffalo hesitated, aware of Noah's orders to stay put. But the promise of a refreshing swim was too tempting to resist.

As midnight struck, the cow and the water buffalo, with hearts pounding, sneaked out of the gathering and made their way to the hidden lake.

The water was cool and refreshing. They splashed around, forgetting their worries and the impending journey on Noah's ark.

As dawn broke, the cow and the water buffalo, tired but happy, returned to the ark. But they were met with a surprise.

Noah had noticed their absence. As a punishment, he swapped their skin. The cow, once dark, now had a white skin with black spots.

The water buffalo, originally white, now had a dark skin. Moreover, the skin was tight, unlike his previous loose skin.

Despite the punishment, the cow and the water buffalo were not regretful. The midnight escapade had given them a memory to cherish.

As the ark sailed on, the cow and the water buffalo, with their mismatched skin, stood side by side, sharing their midnight adventure with the other animals.

And so, the story of the cow and water buffalo's mismatched skin became a legend among the animals, a tale of adventure, rebellion, and unforgettable friendship.
