關於12生肖的故事英文如下：
Once upon a time, there were 12 animals in the world. But there were only 11 animals in the animal kingdom. They all wanted to be counted among the 12 animals. One day, they decided to ask the Heavenly God for help. The animals prayed and pleaded with the Heavenly God to add them to the list of 12 animals. After hearing their request, the Heavenly God said, "Very well, I will help you. But you must each compete in a test to prove yourselves worthy of being counted among the 12 animals."
The animals agreed and began to compete. The first animal was the rat. He competed by being the first to jump over the highest fire altar and collecting 12 red dates. The second animal was the ox, who carried the heaviest load on his back for a certain distance. The third animal was the tiger, who could stay underwater for the longest time without getting tired or panicking. The fourth animal was the chicken, who could lay the largest number of golden eggs in a certain time.
The rabbit, dragon, horse, monkey, rooster, and dog each competed in their own unique way and proved themselves worthy of being counted among the 12 animals. After all the animals had competed, the Heavenly God was pleased and said, "Very well, you have all proven yourselves worthy. You will each be counted among the 12 animals from now on."
And so it was that the animals were each assigned a position in the zodiac based on their strengths and abilities. From then on, every year on the first day of the Chinese New Year, people would celebrate with their families and friends, honoring each animal in their own way.
