The year of the rat is the first year of the zodiac. What's the story?

The year of the rat is the first year of the zodiac, but there are actually some allusions in it. Because rats are active at night, they will choose to go out when people have a rest. If you always hear some inexplicable noises at night, it's mostly because of the mouse, so we call it the mouse in the zodiac, and the mouse is the first time in the zodiac, so the mouse ranks first in the zodiac. So it makes sense to see that mice rank first in the zodiac.

I used to think that rats were harmful. They were always doing damage in other people's homes. It is really strange that such an animal can rank first. In fact, there is such an allusion about mice. It is said that the Jade Emperor chose 12 animals as zodiac animals and sent someone to tell them to come to the Tiangong for election. If they come early, they can rank first, so the mouse gets up early that day.

It knows that it has no advantage compared with the cow, because its size is very different from that of the cow, so its steps are much smaller than that of the cow, so the cow will definitely arrive earlier than it, so it takes it to heart. It tells the old cow that it wants to sing a song to it, but it says its voice is too low for the cow to hear, so it asks to ride on the cow's neck and sing it in the cow's ear so that it can hear it.

After riding on the cow's neck, the mouse began to sing. The cow was very happy and ran more vigorously. Sure enough, the cow arrived first, and the cow thought she must be the first, but unexpectedly, the mouse jumped off the cow's back and walked in front of the cow, so the mouse became the first. Although a little invincible, I have to say that the mouse is really smart, which may be precisely because of this.
