What is your zodiac sign?
In China, every year is represented by one of
12 animals
The Jade Emperor wanted to select 12 animals to be his guards. The next day,
animals set off towards the Heavenly Gate.

Rat got up very early. On his way to the gate, he encountered a river. He had to
stop there. After waiting a long time, Rat noticed Ox about to cross the river and
jumped into Ox's ear. After crossing the river, he raced towards the palace of the
Jade Emperor. Suddenly, Rat jumped out of Ox's ear and dashed to the feet of
the Emperor. Rat won first place and Ox was second.

Tiger and Rabbit came third and fourth because both are fast and competitive,
but Tiger was faster.
Good-looking Dragon was fifth and was immediately noticed by the Jade
Emperor, who said Dragon's son could be sixth. But Dragon's son didn't come
with him that day. Just then, Snake came forward and said Dragon was his
adoptive father; so Snake ranked sixth.

Horse and Goat arrived. They were very kind and modest and each let the
other go first. The Jade Emperor saw how polite they were and ranked them
seventh and eighth.

Monkey had fallen well behind. But he jumped between trees and stones, and
caught up to be ninth. Last were Rooster, Dog, and Pig.
