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.

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
