【主題小故事】The great race

（注：視頻開(kāi)始是個(gè)連線小游戲哦，直接在上面劃就行了哦）

A long time ago in China lived the Jade Emperor. It was his birthday. He wanted to measure time to know how old he was.
很久很久以前住著一位玉皇大帝，有一天他的生日到了，他想測(cè)量一下時(shí)間，好讓他知道自己已經(jīng)多少歲了。

All the animals arrived. The Emperor decided to have a race to give a name to each year of the Chinese Zodiac.
所有的小動(dòng)物們都到了，玉帝決定舉行一個(gè)比賽，來(lái)決定每一年的名字。

The rat and the cat couldn't swim very well.
"Can you take us across the river?"
"Yes, jump and quick!"
老鼠和貓都不太會(huì)游泳，
（他們對(duì)牛說(shuō)）”你能帶我們過(guò)河嗎？“
”可以，快來(lái)上來(lái)吧?！?/div>

They swam across the river. Then the rat pushed the cat into the water and jumped on to land.
他們游到河邊，然后老鼠把貓推下了河，自己跳到了岸上。（這就是為什么十二生肖中沒(méi)有貓的原因了）

”Well done,Rat! The first year will be the Year of the Rat and the second will be the Year of the OX."
“干得好，老鼠！ 第一年就是鼠年，第二年是牛年?！?/div>

"Look! Here's the tiger. He's very tired. The third year will be the Year of the Tiger."
“看！老虎來(lái)了。它很累，第三年就是虎年了?！?/div>

"The rabbit can't swim but he's very clever. The fourth year will be the Year of the Rabbit."
“兔子不會(huì)游泳但他很聰明，第四年就是兔年?！?/div>

"Why are you late, Dragon? You can fly!"
"I had to make some rain for thirsty people to drink."
"Well done! The fifth year is the Year of the Dragon."
"龍，你為什么遲到了？你會(huì)飛?。　?br> “我必須給干渴的人們制造雨水?！保埻鯛斒钦乒芟掠甑模?br> “干得好！第五年就是龍年了！”

"What's this? I can hear a horse. No, it's a snake. So the snake has the sixth year."
“誰(shuí)來(lái)了？我好像聽(tīng)到了馬的聲音。不，是蛇，所以第六年是蛇年?！?/div>

"Well done! It is good to see you working together! The goat is eighth, the monkey is ninth and rooster is tenth."
“干得好！很高興看到你們齊心合力干活！第八是羊，第九是猴子，第十是雞?！?/div>

“Sorry I'm late. The water is clean and I needed a bath."
" The eleventh is the Year of the Dog."
"抱歉，我來(lái)晚了。河水很干凈，我得洗個(gè)澡?！?br> “第十一年就是狗年?！?/div>

Be“You are the last."
"Yes, I had to eat and sleep on the way."
"The last is the Year of the Pig."
And that is how the Emperor chose the animals for Chinese Zodiac.
"你是最晚的?！?br> “是的，我得在路上吃個(gè)飯、再睡個(gè)覺(jué)?！?br> “最后一年就是豬年吧?！?br> 玉皇大帝就是這么排列中國(guó)的生肖的。
