Chinese Zodiac Rabbit


A legend says that the Jade Emperor held a competition and said the order of the 12-cycle animal signs would be decided by the order in which the zodiac animals arrived at his palace. Ox came first but Rat climbed up its head and landed ahead of Ox, Tiger and Rabbit following. So the top 4 became Rat, Ox, Tiger, and Rabbit.
