Rooster
It was said that the Emperor of Heaven chose the twelve zodiac animals by
judging the number of contributions they had given to humans. The horse
was among those chosen of course. One day, the rooster saw how popular the horse
was among the humans and how well they treated him. The rooster was understandably
pretty jealous. Seeing the unhappy rooster,the horse suggested that he try doing a
musical favour for the humans since he has
a good voice.
The rooster took his advice and started to crow everyday at dawn to wake people up.
That was an effective ploy and the human beings started to feel grateful towards him.
However there was another rule blocking him: the Emperor of Heaven only chose
zodiac animals from the wild beasts, and birds were not included.
The rooster caught up with and confronted the Emperor of Heaven and he agreed that
the rooster was also doing good deeds for the humans. So he put a flower on the
head of the rooster and entered him in the competition to be chosen as an animal of
the zodiac.
The big day finally arrived. The rooster got up early so that he could be at the head of
the queue and on the way he met the dog. Of course he wanted to be ahead of the dog,
so he flew and jumped. Finally he arrived there earlier than the dog. The dog had no
choice but to take his place after the rooster and both of them were selected to be
zodiac animals. But they have since become enemies. Now whenever the dog sees the
rooster, he will immediately chase him.
玉帝选生肖时，只考虑对人类有功劳的
畜兽。有一天，鸡王看到被封为生肖的马受
人宠爱，十分羡慕。马对鸡说：“你有一副
好嗓子，说不定会对人类有所贡献。”
鸡王苦思冥想，终于想到了一个办法：
用自己的嗓子在黎明时分唤醒沉睡的人们，
人们对鸡王十分感激。可是，玉帝封生肖的
标准只定在走兽类，不要飞禽，这可急坏了
鸡王。
一天，鸡飞上天宫，在玉帝面前哭诉。
玉帝细想，鸡王的功劳也不小，于是摘下一
朵身边的红花儿戴在鸡王头上，以示嘉奖，
并破格让鸡王参与生肖席位的竞争。
到了争排生肖座次的那一天，鸡与狗相
伴而行。快到天宫时，鸡怕狗占先，便连飞
带跑地抢到狗的前面，待狗愣过神儿来，只
好坐在鸡的席位之后。从此，狗对鸡再无好
感，见到鸡就追赶。
