The Story

One day, the Emperor decided to make a time measurement. He decided using animals to represent years would be easiest. He made a race to determine the animals that would have years named after them. They would  swim across the river and try to win. 

The zodiac animals started to fight over who would win.

"I will win the first year!" cried Dog. "I am the best swimmer!"

"I will be awarded the first year!" said the Rooster. 

"You can't win!" said Pig.

"Neither can you!" said Tiger
