以下是12生肖的故事的英文版：
Once upon a time, there were 12 animals in the zodiac. Each year, the animals would be represented by a certain kind of beast. However, there were only 11 beasts in the zodiac, so they needed to find one more beast to complete the list.
One day, a group of animals gathered together to discuss how to find a new beast. After much deliberation, they decided to hold a competition to find the most suitable beast. The animals that won would represent the zodiac with the final beast.
The competition was held and all of the animals put forth their best efforts. The rabbits ran fast, the tigers leaped high, the snakes slithered gracefully, and so on. After the competition, they all gathered around to see who had won.
The judges announced that the new beast was the monkey. The animals were surprised because they had never considered the monkey as a suitable beast for the zodiac. But upon further investigation, they realized that the monkey was intelligent, lively, and adaptable. It could adapt to any situation and was often seen as a symbol of luck and good fortune.
From that day forward, the monkey was added to the zodiac and has been a part of Chinese culture ever since.
