In ancient times, when the 12 animals were being chosen, the Jade Emperor had two criteria. The animal either had to be of some use to humanity, or had to arrive at the heavenly palace on the day of choosing. Originally the Rooster was disruptive and aggressive, so he didn’t think he stood a chance. So to qualify the Rooster decided to do something for humanity. He used his voice to wake people in the mornings, they were so grateful they asked the Emperor to consider him. The Emperor couldn’t decide what position he should have among the animals, so he decided there should be a race. In the competition the Rooster cheated, using his wings to beat the Dog and gain 10th place among the 12 animals chosen.
