Chinese New Year, 2nd Class January 2008
In ancient Chinese times twelve animals wanted the first new year to be
named after them. So they had a race. The ox was galloping and galloping
he was in the lead! But then the rat hopped on to his back and then hopped
off and crossed the finishing line- he won! So the first new year was named
after the rat!
