(12 animals from the wheel
of the Chinese calender)
There is a legend that once upon a time in heaven,
the emperor called 12 animals to have a race
to decide
upon the 12 years cycle. The animals gathered
together
and started jumping into the river. The bull
was the
best swimmer. The rat, being most cunning, asked
the
bullt for a ride because he could not swim. Being
kind
hearted, the bull agreed. Soon, as they were
about to
reach the shore, the rat which was riding on
the bull's back,
jumped on first. Hence the rat became the first
in the twelee
cycle. The animals in order are: Rat, bull, tiger,
rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster,
dog and pig.
