R I am the greatest Lion in all of China

more ferocious than that in my

sleep oh a sneezing lion I'm

shaking looks like they at it again

that's what they do best no fair I want

to be the

lion out of my way I was here first cut

it

out like I said I'm the

lion okay that's

enough the do always gets to be the lion

what if I told you that donga was

actually a monkey what I'm no monkey I'm

a cat true but according to the Chinese

calendar of the zodiac you were born in

the year of the monkey how can a year be

a monkey each year in the Chinese

calendar is represented by one of 12

animals the year you were born donga it

was the year of the monkey what about me

you my dear were born in the Year of the

Dog a dog well I'd rather be a dog than

a

monkey what about me am I a lion a panda

oh I know a

swan no sha you were born in the year of

the Rat R are you sure you should be

proud to be the rat sha not only is she

fast but very very clever the r are

small small than me and they have shiy

eyes and those weird looking tails you

describe only the rat's appearance you

must look deeper gather around I'll tell

you a story is it filled with action n i

action oh yes and mystery many centuries

ago the emperor couldn't decide which

order the animals should be in for the

Zodiac the 12 chosen animals scrubble

every day over who should be the first

in the Chinese calary oh say it one more

time I'm first no way the one who can

fly should be first you're both nuts I

should be first cuz I'm a first every

[Applause]

day I'm number one I'm number

one sorry allergies they didn't want to

ever they could to try and prove one was

better than the other you sleep all day

I should be first so you eat all day I'm

first oh yeah

yeah but I'm faster yeah and I'm

stronger faster

stronger they spend all day arguing

instead of carrying on with their duties

what's this my fields are unplowed my

crops withering this will not

do you don't deserve being first say

it's you you're both last in my

book finally the Emperor of China

decided to put an end to all of this

[Applause]

nonsense quiet all of

you I call a race a great race and

whoever wins it will be the first in the

Zodiac that'll be me no me me I'll

win I sure hope it's me please n n can

you just skip to the end who wins oh

please tell me it's the r the rat won't

win it'll be the monkey forget it the

dog wins right N9 let me continue with

the story and you'll all find

out the race was to be soon everyone was

confident they would win except for the

rat the rat knew she was the smor I

would never be able to keep up with the

larger arms if if I practice running

I'll at least have a

[Applause]

chance clearly mother all the animals

felt they needed any practice at

all that rat is wasting her time I'm

winning this

race and so the rat ran on and

on

ouch what are you doing near my tree I'm

practicing for the race who needs

practice I'm ready to race without him

[Applause]

the rat was discouraged yet wouldn't

give up so she practiced and practiced

more and more every day building up her

strength the order of our calendar will

be decided by the order you finish this

race

Ready Set

go as they rced it became clear who ran

fast and who did not wait a minute the

dragon isn't running he's flying I say

he should be disqualified donga it's

only a

story

oh n n what what about the rat what

happened

next the animal's rat littered

[Applause]

and until they came to a

river they all stopped to drink the cool

refreshing water and to catch their

breath

you're not going to sneeze on me right

nope no more sneezing I'm

[Applause]

prish I might get

theups the ox who had run along slowly

but steadily was not tired at all and

the rat looked like she could run

forever but she couldn't swim at all

I didn't know I had to swim in this race

what's the problem with

swimming oh nothing except I don't know

how now Ox might be a slow Runner but he

was a very good swimmer the rat knew

this rat also saw that the other animals

were paying no attention to the little

rat and the big slow Ox there's only one

way I going to win this

[Applause]

race help oh help me I can't

swim hold on little

rat the noble Ox swam over plck that rat

out of the water and began to swim back

to

land soon the ox carrying the rat got to

the other side thanks for saving my life

o your life is more important than Wom

this

Fe

[Music]

Grace not there the r used the ox to get

across the river so the route wins the

race right n

n well if you let me finish the story

you'll find

out now the emperor waited at the Finish

Line finally the exhausted rat made it

to the finish line

[Applause]

I did it I'm first and the aux finished

[Applause]

second thanks Ox I couldn't have won

without you what do you mean back at the

river you didn't had to save me I was

standing on a rock you tricked me

no I outsmarted

[Applause]

you all the animals finished the race in

the order that is now the Chinese

calendar and the rat went first place in

the

zodiac yay I'm first the rat was

rewarded for not giving up you mean for

being sneaky it's true the rat was

sneaky and it was wrong of her to take

advantage of the ox but she also did a

good thing by practicing as hard as she

could to win you see like all of us the

rat was not all good or all bad what

about the dog and the monkey how did

they fit in

I'll show you

wow all 12 animals in order of the race

the water in our mouths and and spray it

up into the air to fill the clouds great

yay

rain

rain

rain the crops are saved the crops are

safe

the four dragons succeeded everyone

rejoiced at the

miracle that is everyone but how dare

those four dragons Make It Rain without

my permission the Jade Emperor was so

enraged he used his powerful magic to

summon the

[Music]

dragons I don't have any powerful magic

um just fake it a H

dragons

dragons come to

[Music]

me the emperor's magic pulled the

dragons to The Emperor's Palace even

though there really wasn't any

magic you have defied my orders refused

to stay in the sea and made it rain

without my permission you leave me no

choice but to imprison you forever

Within These

mountains we don't regret what we have

done it is more important to help those

in real need even if it means defying

you so there the four dragons were so

determined to keep helping the

people wa that they each turned into one

of the four Great Great Rivers of China

flowing past high mountains and deep

valleys providing the people with water

and

rain

forever
