Story
Once upon a time, there was a young girl who lived in a tiny house in the middle of a great big field. Every day she spent alone. Then one day, as the young girl was looking out her window, she saw a great ox walking past her house. The young girl went outside and called to the ox "Mr. Ox, Mr. Ox. I am just sitting to tea and I would be honored if you would be my guest. Would you join me?" The ox was so surprised, for he was not used to being spoken to so politely, that he agreed immediately. But the ox was so big and the house so small that the only thing he could fit in the door was his great nose. The ox pushed and pushed, but he could not get in. The young girl took hold of the great ring in his nose and pulled and pulled, but the ox could not get in. Then together the ox pushed and pushed and the girl pulled and pulled. Great cracks began to form in the door way, the walls and the ceiling, still the ox could not get through. So the ox gave one final push and the young girl gave one final pull, as they did this the cracks grew and the house fell down all around them. The girl climbed atop the great ox's back and together they rode into the setting sun, never to be parted. In time they were married and they lived happily ever after.
