Special! for Chinese Lunar New Year! A folktale on how the ox came to help farmers.

He looked at the 12 specially selected animals one by one to decide which animal is most suitable to help the farmers with their land and to grow food for themselves.
The rat? No, it may eat all the grains!
The tiger? No, it will frighten the people.
The monkey? No, it is too mischievous.
So, which animal can help?
