The Story of How Snake Became One of the 12 Chinese Zodiacs!

The most prominent story about how the snake became one of the Chinese Zodiacs is the Great Race. When the Chinese Jade Emperor announced a race to determine the 12 zodiacs, the animals had to cross a fast-flowing river, and the first 12 to reach the river would be the 12 zodiacs. The Snake, being small and slow but wise and confident, wrapped itself around the hoof of the bigger and faster horse. At the right moment, the snake jumped at the end line and slithered to become the sixth zodiac.
