All the animals arrived. The Emperor decided to have a race to give a name to each year of the Chinese Zodiac. The rat and the cat couldn't swim very well. They swam across the river. Then the rat pushed the cat into the water and jumped on to land. ”Well done,Rat! The first year will be the Year of the Rat and the second will be the Year of the OX." "Look! Here's the tiger. He's very tired. The third year will be the Year of the Tiger." "The rabbit can't swim but he's very clever. The fourth year will be the Year of the Rabbit." "Why are you late, Dragon? You can fly!" "What's this? I can hear a horse. No, it's a snake. So the snake has the sixth year." "Well done! It is good to see you working together!
