Beschrijving
The Great Ox. This miscellaneous type comprises various tales about enormous animals, domestic (ox, cow, horse, sheep, goat, hog, dog, cat, etc.) or wild (fox, bear, hare, boar, opossum, frog, turtle, snake, etc.) [B871.1.1.1, B875.1, X1201, X1224.1, X1233.1.1, X1235.1, X1241.1, X1244.3, X1342.1, X1321.1].
For example, an ox is so big that it takes a bird a whole day (week, year) to fly from the end of one of its horns to the other. Or, one of its horns is used in a mill as a funnel, and it holds a whole cask of grain.
A hog is so big that it has been coming around a corner for three days and its eyes are still not visible.
A sheep has a tail so heavy that it must be carried in a wheelbarrow, and when it is sheared it yields two hundredweights of wool.
