Chinese Zodiac
According to Chinese legend, Buddha invited all of the animals
in the kingdom together for a meeting, but only 12 creatures
attended. The first animal to arrive was the Rat next came the
Ox with the Tiger. The rabbit and Dragon joined along with
the Snake. The Horse arrived with the Goat. The Monkey and the Rooster came as well. The last to join the others were the Dog
and the Boar. As reward for showing up Buddha gave each animal
a year of its own, bestowing the nature and characteristics
of each to those born in that animals year.
