Both oxen looked at me and together they said, Why never.
Now, even more confused, I said, I have just come from the valley and they also have plowed many rows but they now have corn and wheat growing.
"Oh yes," said the older oxen "but you don’t know our human, the Plowman." I had to admit that I didn’t but I was still confused. The older oxen gave me one of those cow smiles.
