In ancient times, people didn't have calendars and often forgot what year it was, making life very inconvenient. The Jade Emperor heard their complaints and decided to hold a river-crossing competition to see which twelve animals were the first to cross the river--these twelve would become the "Twelve Zodiac Animals," and their names would be used to record the years! The animals were very excited about the news, but the cat and mouse, these two good friends, weren't happy. They were worried because they couldn't swim; how would they cross the river? Then the clever mouse came up with a plan and enlisted the help of the ox... Could they successfully become the twelve zodiac animals?
