老虎和老鼠的英语故事
Cat
and
Rat
were
the
worst
swimmers
in
the
animal
kingdom.
Although
they
were
poor
swimmers,
they
were
both
quite
intelligent.
To
get
to
the
meeting called by the Jade Emperor, they had to cross a river
to
reach
the
meeting
place.
The
Jade
Emperor
had
also
decreed that the years
on the calendar would be named
for
each
animal
as
they
arrived
to
the
meeting.
Cat
and
Rat
decided that the best and fastest way to cross the river was to
hop
on
the
back
of
Ox.
Ox,
being
nave
and
good-natured,
agreed to carry them both across. Midway across the river, Rat
pushed Cat into the water. Then as Ox neared the other side of
the river, Rat jumped ahead and reached the shore first. So he
claimed first place in the competition and the zodiac.
Following closely behind was strong Ox who was named
the
2nd
animal
in
the
zodiac.
After
Ox,
came
Tiger,
panting,
while
explaining
to
the
Jade
Emperor
how
difficult
it
was
to

cross the river with the heavy currents pushing it downstream
all
the
time.
But
with
its
powerful
strength,
Tiger
made
to
shore and was named the 3rd animal in the cycle.
Suddenly, from
a
distance came
a
thumping
sound,
and
the
Rabbit
arrived.
It
explained
how
it
crossed
the
river:
by
jumping
from
one
stone
to
another
in
a
nimble
fashion.
Halfway
through,
it
almost
lost
the
race,
but
the
Rabbit
was
lucky enough to grab hold of a floating log that later washed
him to shore. For that, it became the 4th animal in the Zodiac
cycle. Coming in 5th place was the Flying Dragon. Of course,
the Jade Emperor was deeply curious as to why a swift flying
creature such as the Dragon should fail to reach first place. The
mighty Dragon explained that he had to stop and make rain to
help all the people and creatures of the earth, and therefore he
was held back. Then, on his way to the finish, he saw a little
helpless Rabbit clinging onto a log so he did a good deed and
gave a puff of breath to the poor creature so that it could land
on
the
shore.
The
Jade
Emperor
was
very
pleased
with
the
actions of the Dragon, and he was added into the zodiac cycle.
As soon as he had done so, a galloping sound was heard, and
the Horse appeared. Hidden on the Horses hoof was the Snake,
whose
sudden
appearance
gave
the
Horse
a
fright,
thus

making it fall back and giving the Snake the 6th spot, while the
Horse placed 7th.
Not
long
after
that,
a
little
distance
away,
the
Sheep,
Monkey, and Rooster came to the shore. These three creatures
helped
each
other
to
get
to
where
they
are.
The
Rooster
spotted a raft, and took the other two animals with it. Together,
the
Sheep
and
the
Monkey
cleared
the
weeds,
tugged
and
pulled
and
finally
got
the
raft
to
the
shore.
Because
of
their
combined efforts, the Emperor was very pleased and promptly
named the Sheep as the 8th creature, the Monkey as the 9th,
and the Rooster the 10th.
The 11th animal was the Dog. Although he was supposed
to be the best swimmer, he could not resist the temptation to
play
a
little
longer
in
the
river.
Though
his
explanation
for
being late was because he needed a good bath after a long
spell. For that, he almost didnt make it to finish line. Just as the
Jade Emperor
was about to call
it a
day,
an
oink
and
squeal
was heard from a little Pig. The Pig got hungry during the race,
promptly
stopped
for
a
feast
and
then
fell
asleep.
After
the
nap,
the
Pig
continued
the
race
and
was
named
the
12th
animal of the zodiac cycle. The Cat finished as thirteenth place
and did not make it in the zodiac.
