The word 'stalled' means to stop suddenly. Use this meaning to explain the title of the story. Do you think this is an apt title? Can you suggest any other title of the story?

In context, the ox is content and unwilling to move. He is too busy eating. This is an apt title, as it describes the ox's actions and part in the story. We might rename the text, The Unwanted Visitor or possible The Uninvited Guest.
