A 

There is a large park in Montana. A lot of bison (野牛) live in the park. These animals are like buffalo (水牛) .The bison have lived there for a long time.

The government wants to protect the bison that live in the park. Sometimes the bison move out of the park. They begin to eat food that is supposed to be for cows. The farmers who raise the cows do not want the bison eating their food.
