• Cat and Rat planned to go together, but Rat did not wake up the Cat and left.
• Rat knew he could not make it across, so begged the Ox to let him ride on him.
• Just when they were to arrive, Rat jumped off Ox and crossed first.
• This is why the Rat is the first year of the cycle, Ox is second and the Cat is not a part of the cycle.
