Chinese Zodiac Tales
A long, long time ago, the god Jade Emperor said, “We want to choose twelve animals as the zodiac sign of human beings, one animal per year.” How many animals are there in the world? What is the choice? So, set a day. On this day, when animals come to sign up, they will choose the first twelve animals to be the zodiac signs.
The cat and the mouse are neighbors and good friends, and they both want to sign up. The cat said: “We have to get up early to sign up, but I like to sleep late, what should I do?” The mouse said: “Don’t worry, don’t worry, you can sleep as soon as you wake up, I’ll call you when I wake up, let’s Go together.”
The cat was very happy when he heard it, and said, “You are really my good friend, thank you.” On the morning of the registration, the mouse woke up early, but it only thought about its own business, and forgot about its good friend, the cat . Just signed up. As a result, mice were selected. What about cats? The cat got up too late because he slept in, and by the time he arrived, twelve animals had been selected.
When the cat was not selected, he was angry with the mouse, and blamed the mouse for not calling it. From then on, the cat would eat the mouse when it saw it, and the mouse had to run away desperately. This is still the case.
Do you know which zodiac sign? They are: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig. How to make the little mouse in the first place?
On the day of registration, the mouse got up early, and the cow got up early too. They met on the road. The ox is big and has big strides. The mouse is small and strides too small. The rat is out of breath and has just caught up with the ox.
The mouse thought to himself: The road is still far, I can’t run, what can I do? As soon as it thought about it, it came up with an idea, and said to the cow: “Brother Niu, brother Niu, I’ll sing you a song.” The cow said: “Okay, you can sing it—Hey, why don’t you sing it? Ah?” said the mouse, “I’m singing, why didn’t you hear me? Oh, my voice is too thin, you didn’t hear me. Well, let me ride on your neck and sing, and you will I heard.”
The ox said, “Xingluo, Xingluo!” The mouse climbed up the ox’s neck along the shank of the ox, and let the ox carry it on its back, which was very comfortable. It shook its head and really sang: Brother Niu, Brother Niu, cross the river, climb the hill, drive, drive, hurry up! As soon as Niu heard this, he was delighted. He spread his four legs and ran hard. When he ran to the place where he signed up, he saw that no one came. He exclaimed with joy, “I am the first place, I am the first place!”
Before the ox could finish speaking, the mouse jumped from the ox’s neck, jumped to the ground, squeaked, and jumped in front of the ox. The result is that the rat won the first place, and the ox won the second place, so in the zodiac, the little rat is at the top of the list.
