Ugly cow, one of the zodiac signs, is the second in the earth. Cows are loyal to their masters all their lives, working hard all their lives, making only contributions, regardless of returns. When ugly, the old cow ruminates the thinnest, slowest and most comfortable.

Legend has it that one day, the Jade Emperor will arrange the Zodiac, and he designated cows, tigers, rabbits, dragons, snakes, horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs, pigs and cats. The next day, the Jade Emperor ranked them.

At that time, cats and mice were good friends. The cat said to the mouse, "You should wake me up early tomorrow. I am one of the 12 Zodiacs, and I will be ranked second in heaven tomorrow. " The mouse readily agreed. The next day, the mouse woke up early. He didn't wake the cat, but went to heaven by himself.
