It is a story about how Tibetan Yak and Indian Buffalo once lived together in a same barn, and how Yak dreamt of exploring the beautiful Himalayan landscape before his eyes. He urges his Buffalo friend to make a pleasant excursion of the region together. But the Buffalo preferred to stay behind and wait for Yak.
