2. This year was different from previous New Year celebrations because the village's good fortune had suddenly vanished, and the crops started withering.
3. Ruby suggested asking Oliver the Ox for help because he was known for his strength and hardworking nature and might know what was wrong with the crops.
4. When Saffron and Ruby found him, Oliver the Ox was ploughing the fields, trying to make the crops grow, but his efforts were unsuccessful.
5. The friends restored the village's good fortune by working together: Ruby used her cleverness to design new paths for water to reach the fields, Oliver used his strength to plough the land, and Saffron used his wisdom to guide them with care and patience.
6. Saffron realized that the village's fortune wasn’t lost—it was within the villagers themselves, and using their talents together could bring back good fortune.
7. Each character contributed to solving the problem:
- Ruby used her cleverness to design new irrigation paths.
- Oliver used his strength to plough the fields.
- Saffron guided them with wisdom and patience.
