A long time ago in ancient China, the Jade emperor, ruler of heaven and earth, proclaimed a great race: the first 12 animals to cross the river would each have a year named after them - and be immortalized in the Chinese Zodiac. The animals lined up along the shore, eager to begin. But there were 13 animals racing for only 12 places.
