The Frozen Bull

The giant parted the clouds. He discovered a frozen bull lying in the snow to save its life. He kept warming the bull's belly with a fire. Half an hour later, it miraculously came back to life. From then on, they became inseparable partners. From that day forward, the giant and the bull traveled the world together, the footprints they left behind. Those footprints gathered into lakes large and small to facilitate transporting timber. He moved large stones aside. He dug through the upstream and downstream riverbeds. The timber could flow downstream, but the winding river channel caused the logs to easily get blocked. So the giant had a brilliant idea. Relying on the bison's method of plowing fields, he straightened the riverbed in one go. Thanks to the giant's efforts, that village became a necessary passage for shipping. As the port gradually opened, merchants sailed across the sea to do business here. They brought very advanced logging tools. Subsequently, a merchant demonstrated the efficiency of his equipment. The user must leave this place. Soon, news of this competition spread throughout the entire island. A gunshot rang out. The speed of their logging was evenly matched. The timber even reached into the clouds. The final gunshot signaled the end of the competition. The merchant's timber file was 1 centimeter higher than the giant's. Everyone was amazed by this. The giant honored the bet. He left this place together with the bison.
