Reading Notes, The Ox Who Won The Forfeit

   Bibliography: Ellen C Babbitt, The Ox Who Won The Forfeit
-A Man owned an Ox and he was so strong, the man bragged to everyone about him.
-The owner told a man in a village that, ""I will pay a forfeit of a thousand pieces of silver if my strong Ox cannot draw a line of one hundred wagons." The man in the village agreed and decided to make the bet.
- The owner took the Ox and a huge crowd decided to come out to see.
-Then the owner whipped his Ox, and said: "Get up, you wretch! Get along, you rascal!" The Ox was very concerned as to why he was spoken that way so he just stood still.
-That night, he went to feed him and the Ox asks, ""Why did you whip me to-day? You never whipped me before. Why did you call me 'wretch' and 'rascal'? You never called me hard names before."
-The owner decided to never do that to him again and the Ox took his apology. The Ox agrees to go tomorrow to do what he failed in the earlier day before.
-The village man asks, "Did you come back to lose more money?" "To-day I will pay a forfeit of two thousand pieces of silver if my Ox is not strong enough to pull the one hundred carts," said the owner.
-The Ox achieved the tasks and the crowd went wild. They paid the owner back what he lost and exclaimed, "Your Ox is the strongest Ox we ever saw."

The Ox and His owner going home after the VICTORY!!

Logan's Introduction

 Hello fellow classmates, My name is Logan Biggs and I was born in Dallas, Texas on February 3rd, 1998. I have lived in Frisco, Texas since I was in 8th grade, but has always lived in the great state of Texas. I grew up playing soccer since I was 10 and I actually attended Midwestern State University my freshman year on a soccer scholarship. I got hurt, but, short story, ended up here at The University of Oklahoma and my time here has been great. This is my 3rd year here and I am majoring in Finance. Money and math has always been a passion of mine since I can remember. Something cool about my major is that, sometimes, depending what you do, you get to be a strategist for other companies and take care of the financial decisions they choose to make. The best class I took last semester was Business Finance. In my opinion, this was my favorite class because this is what I am majoring in and I really enjoy doing financial problems. My favorite type of movies are comedy and action movies. M

 Once upon a time, there was a king who had a lake for his boys to play in. He told the boys that he had gotten fishes in there for them to see and mess around with. While the boys we're at the lake, they saw something very suspicious and out of the ordinary. The suspicious animal was a Turtle, but they had never seen one before. The boys run back to the King and the men inside and yell that there is something in the water, they referred it to as a demon and that the demon was out to get them. The King forced men to go out to the lake to catch this, out of ordinary, species. When the men brought the Turtle back, the King wanted these men to kill it because only fish were supposed to be in the water. As they went around the room and talked about killing the animal, the Turtle pokes it's head out and says, "what have I done to you humans for you guys to want to do something to hurt me and hurt my life? The lake is my safe spot and I would never do anything to hurt you guys,
