In a story about the Chinese zodiac, twelve animals argue over naming the new year after themselves. The Jade Emperor suggests a race across a river to decide the winner. The clever rat wins by riding on the ox's back, and the year is named after him. The other animals finish in order, and each year is named accordingly. The video concludes with a call to subscribe to the CBeebies YouTube channel.
