Oldest Inhabitant's Oxen and Oddities of Surviving Work
The oldest inhabitant extols oxen over mules noting their reliability for early starts and long hard days. He recalls a clever bell ox that hid in timber, Ball the lazy yokefellow who vanished to watch the barn, and Brandy as Ball’s partner. An oxen ride is praised as smoother than a stone boat, with dangers of oxen running off avoided by steady work, and the tale ends with a humorous hunt and a ride back to the farm. The piece blends rural lore with a brief mention of the “Game of Numbers” and various old-time proverbs.
