Soon Rabbit arrived and was delighted to find that she was number four. “I hopped from stone to stone, then floated on a log the rest of the way,” she said.

Next came Dragon. He was in a great humor. “I see four are here ahead of me. I would have been here earlier, but I stopped to blow rain clouds to help the farmers. Then I saw Rabbit in the river and made the wind push her log.”

“Not only is your kindness honorable,” said the emperor, “but you have earned place number five.”

The emperor had hardly finished speaking when Horse clattered up. Just as he started to approach the emperor, however, Snake slithered out of the bushes. Startled, Horse reared back. Snake slid by and received the next number.

Horse appealed to the emperor, “Snake tricked me!”

“Do not worry,” said the emperor. “Snake meant you no harm. After all, she cannot walk or fly. She must slide under things.”

Horse saw the crowd of animals. “Is there still a place for me?”

The emperor peered at the chart. “The scribe will mark you in seventh place.”
