Cattle's Zodiac Story
In ancient times, cows were servants in front of the Jade Emperor's palace, and they often traveled to and from the Heaven Palace and the earth. One day, the farmer sent a message to the Jade Emperor, saying that nothing grows on the earth, and the earth is bare and ugly. He asked the Jade Emperor to bring some mother grass seeds to the earth to make it look better. When the Jade Emperor heard this, he found it reasonable, so he asked His Highness who would like to plant grass on earth.
"Jade Emperor, I am willing to go to earth to sow grass seeds." Niu Wang volunteered to say.
"You are a careless guy, I'm afraid not." The jade emperor said with trepidation.
"The Jade Emperor can rest assured that I am willing to be punished if I can't do this little thing well." Niu Wang insisted on going.
The Jade Emperor agreed to Niu Wang's request and asked him to walk three steps and sprinkle a handful of grass seeds after he came to earth.
The ox king walked out of the Heavenly Palace with grass seeds. When he walked out of the worse gate, he accidentally fell down. After his death, he was dizzy and mistakenly thought that the jade emperor's will was to scatter three grass seeds one step at a time. As a result, many grass seeds were scattered on the ground.
The next year, there were so many weeds that farmers couldn't grow crops at all.
They asked the Kitchen God to tell the Jade Emperor that there were too many weeds to grow crops. The jade emperor knew the bad thing and called Niu Wang to know that the careless Niu Wang had sown three straws at a time, which ruined a good thing.
"You careless old cow, the world is full of grass, how can you guarantee? From now on, you and your descendants are only allowed to eat grass and help farmers weed. At the same time, generations have been helping farmers work. "
When the Jade Emperor finished, his anger did not disappear. He flew up and kicked old Niu Yi in the foot. The ox king fell from the sky with his mouth down, and a row of his upper teeth fell out. As a result, cows have been working as coolies for farmers all their lives and have never stopped eating grass. Until today, its row of upper teeth has not yet grown out.
However, the cow is a good animal. It is hardworking, diligent and practical, and it never lets go of pulling a cart to plow the fields. It has done a lot of work for farmers and won people's praise. When arranging the zodiac, people recommend him as the zodiac.
