Well, in the zodiac short stories, the animals' personalities are often exaggerated in a funny way. For example, the Rabbit is always depicted as being a bit jumpy and nervous. In a story, when all the animals were playing hide - and - seek, the Rabbit was so jumpy that it hid in the most obvious place but still thought it was well - hidden because it was too nervous to think straight. This kind of over - the - top portrayal of their traits is really humorous.
