I don't recall any specifically famous names for the oxen in such a story off the top of my head. It really depends on the particular version of the story.
A possible story could be that a lumberjack is working in the forest. A woodpecker keeps pecking on a tree near where he is working. At first, the lumberjack is annoyed by the noise. But as he watches the woodpecker more closely, he realizes how hard the little bird is working to find food or build a nest. So the lumberjack starts to respect the woodpecker and they co - exist peacefully in the forest.
I'm not sure specifically as I don't know the exact story. But generally, it could be about the lumberjack teaching the little kid something about the forest, like how to identify trees or respect nature.
The two main characters are the lumberjack, who is probably a strong and experienced man working in the forest, and the little kid. The kid might be someone full of curiosity, exploring the area near the forest where the lumberjack works. Their different personalities and life experiences will likely drive the plot of the story.
Most of the stories about lumberjacks in general are not focused on their sexual orientation. So it's difficult to say if there are famous gay lumberjack stories. But there could be some local tales in areas where there are more open - minded communities in the lumber industry. Maybe some stories passed down within certain groups that celebrate the experiences of gay lumberjacks, but they haven't become famous on a broader scale.
In many lumberjack kids stories, the main characters can also be the lumberjack family members. There could be a father who is experienced and strong, teaching his kids the ropes. And the kids, who are eager to learn and have their own little adventures in the forest while helping with the lumberjack tasks. Sometimes, there are also friendly forest animals like a wise old owl or a helpful squirrel that become important characters in the story as they interact with the lumberjacks.
One popular lumberjack kids story is about a young lumberjack who goes on an adventure in the forest to find a magical tree. He overcomes various obstacles like wild animals and thick bushes. Along the way, he makes friends with forest creatures who help him in his quest.
The connection between the forest and death. Forests are places where accidents can easily happen, like a falling tree or getting lost. In lumberjack ghost stories, the ghosts are often associated with these dangerous elements. When a lumberjack hears a ghostly moan that might be related to a past death by a fallen tree, it makes the whole situation terrifying as it reminds him of his own vulnerability in that environment.
