Twelve animals were mouse (shu), buffalo (niu), tiger (hu), rabbit (t’u), dragon (lung), snake (she), horse (ma), goat (yang), monkey (hou), chicken (chi), dog (kou), and pig (chu).
Why the ordinal like that?why cat is not used?
Here the stories :
Millionth years ago, China Caesar make running championship for animals. The twelveth first winner would be eteinaled as name of year. Usually mouse and cat woke up late. So,they request to be woke up by buffalo early morning in the champion day.
But when the day came,buffalo failed to weak up them because the champion nearly be started. Finally, buffalo brought the mouse and cat on his back, then running followed champion.
The mouse woke up when buffalo past last obstacle, it past a river. The mouse knowed that it couldn’t to have lost cat, so it push cat from a bag of buffalo to a river. Then, mouse ran in front of buffalo that efforting climbed to the land. With the sly of mouse, mouse became the first winner. Then buffalo followed its.
Tiger became third winner, that was after tiger dishonest that was using head of others animals as bridge.
So, China Caesar decided about the ordinal years. That was started from mouse, buffalo, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, chicken, dog, and pig.
Cat didn’t get position, it still lucky because it could reach finished although it almost fall down in the river.
So the cat never friendship with dog until now.
