2023 is a year of the Rabbit. Do you know why the cat is not in the Chinese zodiac (生肖)? There is a famous Chinese folk (神话) story about this. The Jade Emperor (玉皇大帝) asks all animals to take part in a race.The first 12 animals to finish the race will become parts of the zodiac. At that time, the cat and the rat are good friends. When they hear about the race, the cat says to the rat, “We should get up early for the race, but I usually wake up late.” The rat says he will make his friend get up early and they can go together. However, on the morning of the race, the rat is so happy that he doesn’t wake the cat up. He goes to the gathering area himself for the race and wins the first place in the race. An ox comes next, and then a tiger and a rabbit.The cat wakes up late and he finds that the race is already over. The cat doesn’t like the rat at all after that. Of course, it is only a story.

On the way, he remembered the promise he had made to his son: “No matter what happened, I’ll always be there for you!” And tears began to fill his eyes. As he looked at the broken school buildings, it seemed hopeless, but he kept remembering his promise to his son. Remembering his son’s classroom would be in the back right corner of the building, he rushed there and started digging.
Other parents tried to pull him off the ruins, saying: “It’s too late! They’re all dead! You can’t help!” He replied, “Are you going to help me now?” The fire chief showed up and tried to pull him off the school’s ruins saying, “Fires are breaking out, explosions are happening everywhere. You’re in danger. We’ll take care of it. Go home.” This loving, caring American father asked, “Are you going to help me now?” The police came and said, “It’s over. Go home. We’ll handle it!” He replied, “Are you going to help me now?” No one helped.

“There are 14 of us left out of 33, Dad.”
