We often hear a lot of people drink wine (酒). Do you hear of the ox (牛) can drink wine? The farmer
is offering (提供) the ox some wine. Is it very strange? It is said that it can not do farm work without
drinking wine.
We saw the big yellow ox on a farm at last. The villagers told us that the ox was about 500 jin weight.
"We can't find out another ox like it in our hometown," and old farmer said. The partner of the ox is Mr. Liu
who comes from Guizhou. Mr. Liu comes here to make money. He told us he had worked with the ox on
this farm for five years. The farm is very big, and the boss (老板) bought this ox from Taiwan. All the farm
work was done by the ox, but now it can do some of them. "We must give the ox some wine to drink or he
can't work." Mr. Liu said and took out a bottle of wine. When the ox saw the wine, he became very excited.
A few minutes later, he drank up all the wine in the bottle. But the ox looked at the empty bottle and it seemed
that it was not enough.
"I like drinking the wine," Mr. Liu told us, "and I can drink two bottles." We found the wine for the ox
was better than that for Mr. Liu. "Why do you drink such bad wine?" we asked. Mr. Liu laughed, "I must
pay for it myself if I want to drink. But the ox drinks wine from the boss. One day, one bottle. The boss
must buy some boxes of wine for the ox to work for him."
