The race of the

animals.

I’m the best.

No I’m the best.

I think I’m the best.

No animal

is better than me.

Stop arguing I will decide who is the

best.

I am fed up with

listening to the animals

arguing.

Mmm a race will

decide who is best.

I will give you each a year.

You must race to see which year you get.

Ready steady go!

I will easily win.

No you won’t tiger I am

faster than you.

No animal is as quick as me.

Oh dear we have

to go across

the river.

The trees are in my

way.

This is very hard.

Yippee this is easy.

I’m winnin

g.

Oh wait for us.

My legs are

aching.

I really wanted to

win.

Help I’m stuck in

the mud!

I can win this.

The first year will

be named

after me.

I can see the Jade Emperor I’m going to

win!

I thought I could swim

quicker than this.

I don’t like

water.

Monkeys are not

meant to swim!

Wow I’m so fast.

Not as fast as

me horse.

I am only small and the river is

so big.

I’m winning.

I’m winning!

I could ride on

Ox’s back.

What’s that on

my back?

You cheated

rat. Come back!

We have almost

finished.

I wish I had jumped on Ox’s back.

Well done rat. The first year will be named after

you.

I expect ox is going to be cross with me.

I will give all of you a

year of your own.

I was too

slow.

I should have won.

I thought I would be

quicker than rabbit!

I did rather well.
