The first 12 animals to finish were to be given a place in the Chinese Zodiac, and have a year named after them. The cat and the rat, both late-risers asked the ox to wake them at dawn on the day of the race. The day has arrived, the ox tried to wake the cat and the rat, but without success. They would open their eyes, turn to the other side and go back to sleep. The race was about to start. Unwilling to leave them, the ox coaxed them onto his back and started running. The rat woke up just as the ox was crossing the last hurdle, a river. The sly rat knew that he could never beat the cat in the race. He took the chance fate offered him and pushed the cat off the ox’s back. When the ox reached the other side, the rat jumped off and scampered to victory, just ahead of the ox. The tiger came third, but he cheated. He crossed the river by using the Appendix 1 61 backs of the animals swimming across as stepping stones, leaping from one to another.
