Learn with this episode on Your English Toolbox: listen to a complete story at a gentle pace, then explore useful English with Peter. A proud farmer asks his ox to pull a hundred carts before a watching village. When the farmer’s harsh words break their trust, he has to do more than say sorry.
This original English adaptation is based on a traditional Jataka tale, with Ellen C. Babbitt’s 1912 retelling, “The Ox Who Won the Forfeit”, consulted as a source. Practise listening to slow English, follow a radio-style story with natural sound, and learn expressions such as make a bet, boast, admit you were wrong and take your time. The story includes a brief non-graphic instance of mistreatment of an animal.
