Year of the Ox



In the village, not much thought was given to names. Creative naming used brain power that could be better used by feet to move or arms to work. So when the huge dark-skinned man came into the village and offered to pull the plow in exchange for food and shelter, guess what we called him?

He stayed for one season, never complaining about the work, doing whatever we asked. He built many buildings, gave us a huge harvest and saved the village.

Some of the men were upset when all the babies were born, but if they were like Daddy…
