In a far away land, there showed 13 animals all lined up for the Great Race hosted by a Jade Emperor waiting for them at the end. After a while, it was commenced to start--

--There rivaled two animals, the Cat and the Rat. The Cat, who was tricked by the Rat, had believed that there was no such banquet happening on that day and did not bother to check. The Rat, succeeding in its plan, proceeded to head to the river, and being unable to cross the body of water, it asked the Ox to carry them there, in which it agreed. A while has passed and the Rat, in hopes of getting there first, jumps off of the back of the Ox and rushes quickly to the Jade Emperor. There, It was named as the 1st animal of the zodiac calendar. A few minutes had passed and the Ox had to settle in 2nd place.

The third one to come, was the Tiger. Even though it was strong and powerful, it explained to the Jade Emperor that the currents were pushing them downstream.

Suddenly, from a distance came a small, quite quiet thumping sound closed, 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 it was lucky enough to grab hold of a floating log that later washed them to the shore. For that, it became the 4th animal in the zodiac cycle.

In fifth place, was the flying Dragon. The Jade Emperor was wondering why such a swift airborne creature such as the Dragon did not come in first. The Dragon explained that it had to stop by a village and brought rain for all the people, and therefore it was held back. Then, on its way to the finish, it saw the helpless Rabbit clinging onto a log, so it 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 astonished by the Dragon's good nature, and it was named as the 5th animal.

As soon as it had done so, a galloping sound was heard, and the appeared. Hidden on the Horse's hoof was the , whose sudden appearance gave it a fright, thus making it fall back and giving the Snake the 6th spot while the Horse placed 7th.

After a while, the Goat , Monkey , and Rooster came to the heavenly gate. With combined efforts, along with the Bird, they managed to arrive at the other side. The Rooster found a raft, and the Monkey, Bird and the Goat tugged and pulled, trying to get all the weeds out of the way. The Jade Emperor was pleased with their teamwork and decided to name the Goat as the 8th animal followed by the Monkey and then the Rooster, surprised by the absence of the Bird, In which the Jade Emperor thought it would place 2nd for it's free movement, had waited for its arrival.

A few minutes had passed and the Jade Emperor finally sees the Bird, visibly exhausted by the way its wings flapped. Landing down on the land surface, the Bird explains that they didn't want 2nd Place, and so waited until the First 2 animals had passed. Just then, by seeing the Goat, Monkey, and Rooster trying to get to use the boat, they helped in tugging out the weeds present, resulting in the Bird to fatigue and take a rest on the dirt, after refusing to get such help from the 3. After a while had passed, panicking and thinking it had been late, the Bird flapped its wings quicker than usual and arrived. The Jade Emperor thanked the Bird for it's hard work and named it as the 11th animal.

The 12th animal placed in the zodiac cycle was the Dog. Although it should have been the best swimmer and runner, it spent its time playing in the water. Though his explanation for being late was because it needed a good bath after a long . For that, it almost did not make it to the finish line.

Just right when the Emperor was going to end the race, a small but loud enough "oink" sound was heard: it was the Pig. The pig explained how it felt hungry in the middle of the race, so it stopped, ate something, and then fell asleep. After it awoke, it finished the race in 13th place and became the last animal to arrive.

The cat, who did not participate at all, was eventually declared as a non-Zodiac.

And that story was how it changed a little girl's life and her future decisions.
