The Race

In those days, the cat and the rat were best friends.

“Take us with you and we will show you the way”

At the beginning of the race, the observant rooster had noticed an abandoned raft.

He invited the monkey and the sheep to help.

When they neared the opposite shore, the rat pushed the cat into the water.

“How does one as swift and brave as you arrive in fifth place?”

It was the fearless dragon there to claim the fifth position.

He had stopped to make rain to quell a dangerous fire.

The rat left off the ox’s head and landed on the shore.

The Story

The Jade Emperor created a calendar based on a 12-year cycle. He summoned the animals of the world to a great race.

Soon after came the sound of hooves signaling the arrival of clipboard.

The years of calendar would be named after them in the order of which they arrived.

It was thirteen animals answering the call.

However, the clever snake had hidden himself in the horse’s mane and jumped to the ground.

CONGRATULATIONS!

Tiger struggled with the strong currents but finally made it across the river.

In the eleventh place came the playful dog.

The rabbit nimbly hopped across the stones and logs to make it to the shore.

Finally, 12th place was the honest pig.

He was hungry and stopped to eat and then took a long nap.
