Children's stories about the zodiac

A long time ago, one day, people said, "We want to choose twelve animals as the human zodiac, one animal a year." How many kinds of animals are there in the world? How to choose? Tell you what, set a date. On this day, when animals come to sign up, they will choose the first twelve animals as the zodiac.

Cats and mice are neighbors and good friends. They all want to sign up. The cat said, "we have to get up early to register, but I like to sleep late." What should I do? " The mouse said, "Don't worry, don't worry. You can sleep deeply. I'll call you as soon as I wake up. Let's go together. " The cat was very happy and said, "You are really my good friend, thank you."

By the morning of registration, the mouse was awake, but it only thought about its own business and forgot its good friend's cat. I signed up myself.

As a result, I chose the mouse. Where is the cat? The cat got up too late because it went to bed late. When it arrived, twelve animals had been selected.

If the cat is not selected, it will be angry with the mouse, blaming the mouse for not calling it. Since then, cats will eat mice when they see them, and the mice have to run away desperately.

It's still like this.

Do you know which constellation?

They are rats, cows, tigers, rabbits, dragons, snakes, horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs and pigs.

How to make the mouse rank first? Here's another story.

On the day of registration, the mouse got up early and the cow got up early. They met on the road. Cows take big strides, mice take small steps. The mouse was out of breath and barely kept up with the cow. The mouse thought, the road is still far, and I can't run fast. what can I do? He used his head and came up with an idea. He said to the cow, "Niu Ge, I'll sing you a song." The cow said, "OK, you sing-hey, why don't you sing?" The mouse said, "I am singing." Why didn't you hear me? " Oh, my voice was too low for you to hear. Tell you what, let me ride around your neck and sing, and you will hear me. "The cow said," good, good! "The mouse climbed up the cow's neck along the cow's leg, so the cow was comfortable carrying it. It bobbed to sing:

Niu Ge, Niu Ge, cross the river, climb the hillside, drive, drive, hurry up! Niu Yi was very happy to hear that. He spread his legs and ran as fast as he could. He ran to the registration place and saw that no one had come. He wept with joy: "I am the first, I am the first!" " Before the cow finished speaking, the mouse jumped down from the cow's neck, jumped to the ground and squeaked in front of the cow. As a result, the mouse won the first place and the cow won the second place. So in the zodiac, the little mouse ranks first.

The Story of the Zodiac II

How to choose the zodiac is a topic handed down from ancient times. Legend has it that one year, when the Jade Emperor celebrated his birthday, he ordered all the animals to come to celebrate his birthday on the ninth day of the first month, and decided to choose 12 kinds of animals to celebrate his birthday in the order of reporting, as the guards in heaven, and take turns to be on duty every year.

According to legend, mice and cats were neighbors at that time, but big cats often bullied weak mice, and mice often just got angry with cats and dared not speak. This cat has a problem with sleepiness. After receiving the jade emperor's order, the mouse secretly rejoiced that the opportunity to retaliate against the cat had finally come. Sure enough, the cat knocked on the door of the mouse's house and asked the mouse to wake him up for the jade emperor's birthday. The mouse readily agreed. In order to get back at the cat, the mouse set off quietly in the early morning of the ninth day of the first month.

Although the mouse got up early and ran fast, it was worried when it reached the wide river facing Taotao River, so it had to sit by the river and wait for other animals to cross the river, jump on their backs and cross the river with their help. After waiting for a long time, the earliest Niu Yi walked silently to the river. At the moment the cow swam into the water, the mouse jumped into the cow's ear. Cows are usually known for their simplicity and helpfulness, so they don't care about mice's guesses. After crossing the river, the mouse felt comfortable and labor-saving lying in the cow's ear. It didn't mean to jump. Near noon, the cow carried the mouse outside the Jade Emperor's mansion.

When Niu Gang wanted to enter the door, the mouse jumped out of the cow's ear and jumped to the jade emperor first. In this way, the mouse finally won the first place. And the cow that carried it all the way won the second place. Later, tigers, rabbits, dragons, snakes, horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens and dogs also came one after another. Although the pig is stupid, it still arrived on time, ranking twelfth. The Jade Emperor awarded them as annual rotation students according to the order of their registration, thus determining the order of the zodiac.

On the tenth day of the first month, before dawn, the cat finally woke up after sleeping for several days. While it was dark, it continued on its way. When it was proud of the cold along the way and thought that other animals had not set off, it came to the jade emperor's door. As he knocked at the door, he shouted "Jade Emperor-,the cat came to report-". The man who answered the door smiled and said to the cat, "You are such a stupid cat. You're already a day late. You'd better go back and wash your face and clear your head! " "Don't always look sleepy and forget the jade emperor's instructions." At this point, the cat has been extremely angry. Since then, it has forged an indissoluble enemy with the mouse. When it saw the mouse and vowed to kill it, it had great fearless spirit, courage and determination not to stop until it ate all the mice in the world!
