The CAT said to the mouse: “Tomorrow, the Fifth Shift to heaven should be elected, I have a problem of sleepiness, then you can call me!”The MOUSE REPEATED: “Easy to say, easy to say!”But the next morning, do not honor the mouse but secretly got up and left without saying goodbye.On this day, the animals from Yunnan gathered on the Lingxiao Temple and began to choose. According to the difference between heaven and earth, Jade Emperor singled out twelve kinds of water and land animals, namely, Dragon, tiger, ox, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog, pig, rabbit, snake and rat, as signs of the twelve Genera. The rooster had two beautiful horns and was included in the list of beasts.Jade Emperor was just about to give them a seat when he saw the black civet pig flash out, clumsy as a snout but a troublemaker, it played: Jade Emperor has chosen a leader, the small minister iswilling to share the king’s sorrow, when a just man, for the brothers in turn ranking.With Jade Emperor gone, the Chinese Zodiac was a mess.At the beginning, everyone unanimously elected gentle, generous old cattle in the first place, even the mighty tiger, Japanese aircraft carrier Sōryū also respect it some points, agreed. However, shrink in the corner of the mouse but drilled out, protest. It said: “I am big on large numbers, do not believe that we go to the human race, listen to the comments of the people.”So, the old cattle and rats came to the streets.There was no reaction as the cattle passed through the crowd. At this time, the mouse “Chi Liu”all of a sudden climbed on the back of the cow to put up stakes, the people in the street shouted: “WHAT A BIG MOUSE!”By the time people took out sticks to rush at, the mouse had already run away.The mouse came back and bragged, all the animals were Dachimawa Lee for the cattle, only the black pig was secretly happy, he felt that only this size, good or bad, can be mixed, and he also profited from it, so he picked the mouse with one stroke of his pen, there’s an old cow in the back. This annoyed the tiger and the dragon on one side, who made such a noise that the animals trembled. All the animals busy to dragon and tiger worship,unanimously elected tiger as the king of the mountains, Canglong as the king of the fishing, rule the world. The monkey wrote “King”for the tiger on a gold plaque, hanging on the tiger’s forehead, the rooster gave the two horns to the dragon.From then on, Canglong wore the Laurel crown. The tiger, Japanese aircraft carrier SŌRYŪ has the human power, also willing to be placed behind the mouse and the old scalper. At this time, and jumped out of a meddlesome hare, it sneered: “Hey hey! In terms of looks I and rats, in terms of size I than rats, I am the mountain king’s escort, should be in front of the Sea King.”When the black pig heard this, he said, “It’s a good deal. Let’s race. Let the hounds be your referees.”The dogs and the chickens never get along, seeing that the chicken was flattering the Dragon, he wanted to play a trick on them. He chose a thorny track and said to the rabbit in secret, “Your tail is too long. It will hinder the competition.”He cut off a big part of the tail for the Rabbit, there’s just a little bit of tail left. The race began, and Japanese aircraft carrier Sōryūwas in the clouds, and in a few moments it was in front, but when it reached the bushes it caught on the vine and could not be picked. The Hare shot up eighteen rungs and reached the finish line in one breath. Black pig in spite of the opposition of the animals, the rabbit in the tiger before the dragon behind.The dog went to congratulate the Hare, and he said to the Hare, “If you don’t choose such a track, if you don’t cut your tail, how can you win today?”“Hem! I won by skill. Without you, I wouldn’t have lost this beautiful tail,”said the dog, ”The hare said Haughtily, “If you can do it, let’s go for a walk!”The Hare said haughtily, “Why not? I’ll go first. If you can catch me, I’ll treat you to a bone. The hound sharpened his claws and chased after him like an Arrow. After a while, he caught up with the Hare. He put his mouth on the Hare’s neck and said, “Now it’s my turn to gnaw on the bone.”And for that, the dog was disciplined, too, at the end of the line. When Cang Long failed in the competition, he often complained behind his back that the chicken horns had worn him down, and the rooster felt regret and sorrow when he heard it, he came to the sea and said to the Dragon, “Brother long, since these horns are of no use to you, please give them back to me.”The Dragon said slyly, “These horns have done me harm, but they can decorate my instrument, and it is not difficult for you to do so until the sun rises in Western Hills and the moon descends into the East Sea.”He plunged to the bottom of the sea. The innocent rooster believed it.He got up every day before dawn, hoped the sun would come out of Western Hills, and every now and then craned his neck to call out to the sea, “Brother long. Only the ranks of Monkey, snake,horse, sheep and pig are left undetermined. After some discussion, they decided to go to the world for a folk test and an acrobatic performance. “Monkey is the king of juggling on land, and snake is the best swimmer in the water. The Green Snake invited the red horse and the monkey invited the goat to help make the costumes.At that time, the snake had twelve legs under its belly and walked slowly and clumsily. Red Horse is a helpful man of action, it quietly with thin skin to the snake to do a long coat to the tube, dragon coat above the use of horse hair with plaid patterns, evil spirit is good-looking. The Red Horse both scraped a layer of grease from under the abdomen to spread on the Dragon’s clothing, making the dragon’s clothing very slippery.The Green Snake put on the dragon’s clothing, covered the stupid leg, with the slide instead of walking, both sensitive and beautiful. Goats usually hate monkeys. They suspect that they jump up and down all day, trampling grass for them. Therefore, they are not so keen on helping monkeys. Monkeys want to make up for their lack of bare buttocks, the goat asked for help, “Brother sheep, please cut me some wool and let me mend my butt.”The goat was not happy and said: “It’s going to be cold, you know I rely on this precious clothes!”The monkey had no choice but to remain naked. On the day of the race, the green snake was draped in Dragon’sclothing, winding up like a vine on a branch and gliding like a shuttle on the water. He raised his head and landed on the ground with only the tip of his tail. People cheered him on as he performed all kinds of acrobatics. When it was the monkey’s turn to perform, I saw him climbing on a pole and swinging on a swing, and he also won a lot of applause.When the performance came to “Hanging a bamboo curtain upside down,”the monkey rolled up on a branch with the tip of his tail and made all kinds of dangerous movements upside down, suddenly I heard someone shout: “Look! The monkey’s BUTT EYE IS ON FIRE!”People all burst into laughter. The monkey always protects the short, it blushes the heart panic, hurriedly uses the tail to cover the bottom, only hears “Plops”the sound, the head fell toward a full face to spend. In this way, green snake and red horse in the first row, goats and monkeys in the back row.After ranking the animals, the black pig wrote himself at the head, the heart says:”This is the time that I promote a position to get rich, fame and fortune!”! It came to the temple of the dead and met Jade Emperor. Jade Emperor took the seating chart, looked at it, and without a word ticked off the name of the black pig in front and put it at the end. So, Jade Emperor let the Taibai Venus according to the local branch to write: rat, ox, tiger, tiger, rabbit, Chen Long, thesnake, Wu Ma, Wei Yang, monkey, you chicken, Xu dog, Hai pig twelve birthday list, and issued a decree, the duty Cao to the human release. The selection has been decided, Jade Emperor still angry, and to the black pig criticized a few words: useless fool, reversed black and white. We’ll eat them. We’ll kill them once a year. The black pig was demoted and became angry with a big belly. He lay all day in the thatch, and did not bother to meddle any more.However, sometimes still itch in the heart, can not resist, with the mouth arch this arch that, stir up trouble. The mouse returned home and happily stroked three and a half whiskers and danced to wake the sleeping cat. The cat asked, “Is it too late?”The mouse said, “It’s too late, we also contend for the first! “The mouse to the tabby cat to boast of his clever.”Tabby cat ruefully said: “I told you repeatedly, “Why didn’t you call me?”The mouse grabbed the cat and said: “You don’t have long ears?”?

十二生肖的故事英语作文The Story of the Twelve Zodiac AnimalsLong ago, the Jade Emperor, the ruler of all the heavens, decided to hold a great race. He summoned all the animals in the kingdom and announced that the first twelve animals to cross the river would be honored by having a year named after them. The animals were excited and immediately began to prepare for the race.The Rat was a clever and cunning creature. He knew that he was not the fastest animal, so he came up with a plan. He asked the Cat to join him and they would cross the river together. The Cat agreed, and the two set off. As they approached the river, the Rat saw the Ox, who was the largest and strongest of all the animals. The Rat quickly jumped onto the Ox's back and rode across the river. Just as they were about to reach the other side, the Rat jumped off the Ox's back and landed on the shore first, becoming the winner of the race. The Ox came in second, and the Cat, who had fallen asleep on the riverbank, missed the race entirely.The Tiger was the next to arrive, roaring and panting from the effort. He had struggled against the strong currents of the river, but hissheer strength and determination had carried him through. The Rabbit was next, hopping lightly across the river on a floating log. He had been the fastest of all the animals, but he had gotten a bit lost and taken a longer route.The Dragon was the fifth animal to cross the finish line. He had been delayed because he had stopped to help a village that was suffering from a drought. The people begged him to bring them rain, and the Dragon, being a kind and benevolent creature, had obliged. The people were overjoyed and showered the Dragon with gifts and praise.The Snake slithered across the river, taking advantage of the Ox's large body to cross easily. The Horse galloped across, his powerful legs carrying him swiftly through the water. The Goat, Monkey, and Rooster worked together to cross the river, using their combined skills to build a raft and navigate the treacherous currents.The Dog was the eleventh animal to arrive, having stopped to bathe in the river and play in the water. He was still a bit wet and bedraggled, but he had made it across. The Pig was the last to cross the finish line, having stopped for a nap halfway through the race. He was the slowest of all the animals, but he didn't seem to mind.The Jade Emperor was impressed by the animals' determination andingenuity. He declared that each of the twelve animals would have a year named after them, in the order in which they had crossed the finish line. The Rat would be the first, followed by the Ox, the Tiger, the Rabbit, the Dragon, the Snake, the Horse, the Goat, the Monkey, the Rooster, the Dog, and finally the Pig.From that day on, the twelve animals became known as the Twelve Zodiac Animals, and their stories were passed down from generation to generation. Each animal was associated with certain personality traits and characteristics, and people born in the year of a particular animal were said to share those traits.The Rat, for example, was known for his intelligence, cunning, and resourcefulness. The Ox was known for his strength, patience, and reliability. The Tiger was known for his courage, bravery, and ambition. The Rabbit was known for his gentleness, kindness, and sensitivity. The Dragon was known for his power, authority, and creativity. The Snake was known for his wisdom, intuition, and mystery. The Horse was known for his energy, enthusiasm, and independence. The Goat was known for her gentleness, creativity, and compassion. The Monkey was known for his mischievousness, adaptability, and intelligence. The Rooster was known for his confidence, punctuality, and leadership. The Dog was known for his loyalty, honesty, and protectiveness. And the Pig was known for his kindness, generosity, and good nature.Over the centuries, the Twelve Zodiac Animals have become an integral part of Chinese culture and tradition. They are celebrated in festivals, represented in art and literature, and used to guide important life decisions. The stories of the Twelve Zodiac Animals continue to captivate and inspire people around the world, reminding us of the power of determination, creativity, and the enduring spirit of the natural world.。

范文十二生肖英文故事
范文十二生肖英文故事The Twelve Chinese Zodiac Animals: An English StoryIn ancient China, there were no clocks or calendars to mark the passing of time. Instead, people used animals to represent each year. This tradition gave rise to the Chinese zodiac, a cycle of twelve animals that is still widely celebrated today. Let's explore the fascinating story behind the twelve Chinese zodiac animals.Long ago, when the Jade Emperor ruled the heavens, he wanted to find a way to measure time accurately. Determined to create a calendar, he decided to host a grand race, inviting all the animals on Earth to participate. The first twelve animals to cross the finish line would be chosen as the representatives of the Chinese zodiac.Word of the race spread quickly, and animals from all corners of the Earth began to prepare. On the day of the race, thousands of creatures gathered at the starting line, eager to prove themselves. The atmosphere was filled with excitement and anticipation."Ready, set, go!" shouted the Jade Emperor, and the race began. The animals dashed towards the finish line, each utilizing their unique skills and abilities. Let's dive into the story of each animal's journey.First came the clever Rat, who was small but quick-witted. He hitched a ride on the back of the strong Ox, who powered forward with unwavering determination. Just as they approached the finish line, the Rat leaped off the Ox's back, claiming first place.Following closely behind was the diligent and reliable Ox, who secured second place. Though the Ox was disappointed to have been outsmarted by the Rat, it accepted its position with grace and dignity.Next came the agile Tiger, known for its impressive speed and strength. It took third place, its majestic stripes shimmering in the sunlight. Then came the nimble Rabbit, hopping effortlessly across the terrain to claim fourth place.In fifth place, the proud Dragon soared through the sky, its powerful wings propelling it forward. Though it could have easily won the race, the Dragon stopped to help creatures in need along the way. As a result, it arrived later than expected but still secured a place in the zodiac.The swift and graceful Horse galloped into sixth place, its hooves pounding against the earth. Following closely behind was the devoted Goat, who overcame obstacles with persistence and took seventh place.The eighth position went to the Monkey, who used its intelligence and agile movements to outwit its competition. It swung from tree branches and crossed treacherous terrain, ensuring a place in the zodiac.In ninth place came the loyal Rooster, who woke up early each day to prepare for the race. Its crowing echoed through the air as it proudly strutted towards the finish line. The tenth position belonged to the steadfast Dog, who remained focused despite various distractions along the way.Finally, in the eleventh place, came the resourceful Pig. Although it was not the fastest, the Pig used its intelligence to navigate the landscape, securing a spot in the zodiac.Curiously, there was one animal that arrived too late. The Cat had overslept and missed the race entirely. The Rat, who had befriended the Cat, had failed to wake it up. As a result, the Cat was left without a place in the zodiac and has since been at odds with the Rat.These twelve animals, each with their unique strengths and characteristics, became the representatives of the Chinese zodiac. The order in which they finished the race determined their placement in the lunar calendar cycle.Since then, people born in each respective zodiac year are believed to inherit the qualities and traits associated with their animal. The Chinese zodiac has become an integral part of Chinese culture, with each animal having its distinct significance and symbolism.In conclusion, the story of the twelve Chinese zodiac animals is a captivating tale of a grand race that forever changed the way time was measured. From the quick-thinking Rat to the diligent Ox and the agile Tiger, these animals embody the rich cultural heritage of China. Today, the Chinese zodiac continues to be celebrated around the world, reminding us of the importance of embracing our unique qualities and working together.。

十二生肖故事-英文
十二生肖故事-英文LegendAccording to Chinese legend, the twelve animals quarreled one day as to who was to head the cycle of years.
