Here's the story. Long ago, the Jade Emperor wanted to choose animals for the Chinese calendar. All the animals were excited. The horse was confident in its speed, and the snake was sly. They met on the way to the Jade Emperor's place. The snake asked for a ride on the horse's hoof, and the horse agreed. But when they got close, the snake slithered off and got ahead of the horse. Meanwhile, the rabbit hopped quickly but took a break under a tree, which made it fourth. Each animal's journey and behavior in this selection process are part of the rich story behind the Chinese calendar animals.
Well, there is a popular story about the Chinese calendar animals. It is said that the Jade Emperor decided to select 12 animals to represent the years. The cat and the rat were friends at first. They made an agreement to wake up early and go together to the Jade Emperor. But the rat was cunning. He woke up early, didn't wake the cat, and then hitched a ride on the ox. Just as they arrived, the rat jumped off the ox's head and became the first. And that's why cats and rats are enemies now.
One story of the Chinese calendar animals goes like this. The Jade Emperor called for animals to come to his palace to be part of the calendar cycle. The animals had to cross a river to get there. The rat was small but smart. He asked the ox for a ride. As they were nearing the end of the crossing, the rat jumped onto the shore first, making it the first animal in the cycle. The pig, on the other hand, was slow and a bit lazy, so it came last. Each animal has its own characteristics that are also said to be associated with the people born in that year.
