春节动画《06 The Chinese New Year 十二生肖》英文绘本视频+图文

When the old year was coming to an end, all the animals began to quarrel.

Each one wanted the New Year to be named after it.

The animals made such a noise that even the king heard the quarrel from far away.

The king had a wise daughter. She asked the animals why they were quarrelling.

"I want to have the New Year named after me, "said the tiger.

"So do I, said the rat. "So do I, "said the ox.

"So do I, "said the rabbit. " So do I, "said the dragon.

"So do I, " said the snake. "So do I," said the horse.

"So do I, " said the ram. "So do I, "said the monkey.

"So do I, " said the rooster. "And me, "said the dog.

"Me too, " said the pig.

The princess said, "You can have a swimming race across this wide river.

The New Year will be named after the winner.

The animals agreed. They all lined up on the bank of the river.

"Ready, steady, go!" said the princess.

All the animals jumped into the water, and began to swim to the opposite bank

Very soon the ox took the lead.

But he didn't see the sly rat who climbed up his tail and onto his back.

When the ox was near the bank, the rat ran up the ox's head, and jumped onto the grass.

I am the winner! "said the rat.

"Well done," said the king "The New Year will be named the Year of the rat."

The princess felt sorry for the other animals. As, one by one, they all finished the race.

The next eleven years can be named after the other animals, "she said.

And so the order is, Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Ram, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig
