The Sound Jacob Heard

Jacob listened to the sound coming from underneath his bed.
“Are you talking to me?” Jacob asked the sound.
“Well, a high falootin’ yes,” said a voice. “I’ve been waiting for you.”
Jacob got his flashlight and looked under the bed.
“You’re small for a buffalo,” Jacob said.
He was just like the buffalo that Jacob had seen at the zoo, only smaller. His hooves made a clickity clack sound on the wooden floor. He smelled like warm oatmeal.
The buffalo looked at Jacob’s room.
“Well, pull my horn,” said the buffalo, “where’s the grass? I’m hungry.”
“Outside,” said Jacob. “I’ll take you to get some.”
He got dressed and led the buffalo out of his room and into the back yard. Jacob listened to the buffalo graze. He heard munching and tail switching sounds. The swinging tail looked like a paintbrush.
