The Ox Who Won the Forfeit, Ellen C. Babbitt
A man bets a bunch of silver that his ox can pull 1000 wagons
The ox gets hooked up to the wagon
The owner whipped the ox and talked mean to him
The ox had never been talked to that way and it hurt his feelings so he stood still
The owner was embarrassed and that night the ox explained why he didn't pull
The owner promised never to whip him or talk mean to him again
The ox told him he would pull the wagons the next day
The man got all his silver back
