9
00:00:37,670 --> 00:00:44,410
In Mongolia every year in a cycle
of twelve years has its own name.

10
00:00:44,550 --> 00:00:51,020
Long ago, when the years were named,
they forgot to name the first year.

11
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,710
The second year was called
the Year of the Ox.

12
00:00:54,810 --> 00:00:57,440
The third was the Year of the Tiger.

13
00:00:57,540 --> 00:01:00,100
Then followed the Year of the Hare,

14
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:01,490
the Year of the Dragon,

15
00:01:01,740 --> 00:01:03,050
the Year of the Snake,

16
00:01:03,350 --> 00:01:05,020
the Year of the Horse,

17
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:06,510
the Year of the Sheep,

18
00:01:06,610 --> 00:01:08,450
the Year of the Monkey,

19
00:01:08,550 --> 00:01:10,110
the Year of the Chicken,

20
00:01:10,210 --> 00:01:11,620
the Year of the Dog,

21
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,700
and the Year of the Boar.

22
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,670
Only, there was no name
for the first year.

23
00:01:17,770 --> 00:01:23,840
Before the start of that year
there remained just one day

24
00:01:23,940 --> 00:01:29,440
and one night, but it
still had no name.

25
00:01:33,580 --> 00:01:39,590
Oh, how I'd like to do some clever trick,
arrange matters, organize events...

26
00:01:39,690 --> 00:01:41,930
- thought the little mouse...

27
00:01:42,060 --> 00:01:46,030
so that this year would
be named after me.

28
00:01:46,130 --> 00:01:51,810
One day and one night!
So little time, so little time!

29
00:01:51,910 --> 00:01:58,530
Oh, Camel!... It's not like, you know,
I need this...

30
00:01:58,630 --> 00:02:03,610
It's not like, you know,
I need this all that much...

31
00:02:03,710 --> 00:02:09,160
But I just wanted to know
what I should do

32
00:02:09,260 --> 00:02:14,060
to get the coming year named
the Year of the Mouse.

33
00:02:22,970 --> 00:02:25,670
Well, now! - thought the mouse,

34
00:02:25,770 --> 00:02:29,520
Here I will certainly
discover what I need.

35
00:02:29,610 --> 00:02:34,700
Oh... Monkey... What should
I do to make the coming year

36
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,470
be called the Year of the Mouse?

37
00:02:37,570 --> 00:02:42,840
Hehe! The Year of the Monkey was
so named because the monkey

38
00:02:42,940 --> 00:02:44,830
is the most beautiful!

39
00:02:44,930 --> 00:02:47,040
You should be like me!

40
00:02:55,820 --> 00:02:58,530
To be beautiful is all well and good,

41
00:02:58,630 --> 00:03:01,790
but I'm not in top form right now...

42
00:03:09,396 --> 00:03:16,420
Oh, Tiger! What should I do to make the
coming year be called the Year of the Mouse?

43
00:03:17,850 --> 00:03:20,400
The Year of the Tiger was named so

44
00:03:20,500 --> 00:03:23,040
because the tiger is the strongest.

45
00:03:23,140 --> 00:03:25,740
You should be like me.

46
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:46,800
Hehe! Being strong is all
well and good, but it's not for me.

47
00:03:51,343 --> 00:03:57,320
Oh, Hare, what I should do to make the
coming year be called the Year of the Mouse?

48
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:03,470
The Year of the Hare was so named
because the hare is the fastest!

49
00:04:03,570 --> 00:04:08,070
You should be like me.
Well, shall we run?

50
00:04:28,180 --> 00:04:34,350
Being fast is all well and good,
but it's... bad for my health.

51
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:39,410
Oh, Dragon! What should I do
to make the coming year

52
00:04:39,510 --> 00:04:42,280
be called the Year of the Mouse?

53
00:04:42,370 --> 00:04:48,420
The Year of the Dragon was so called

54
00:04:48,530 --> 00:04:53,420
because the dragon is the most fearsome!

55
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,100
You should be like me.

56
00:05:03,630 --> 00:05:09,710
Hee... Being fearsome is, of course,
all well and good. But it's not for me.

57
00:05:12,250 --> 00:05:15,630
Meanwhile, the sun was setting

58
00:05:15,730 --> 00:05:19,290
and the time left for the mouse
was growing less and less.

59
00:05:19,390 --> 00:05:24,300
Oh, Snake, Horse, Ram,
Ox, Rooster, Dog, Pig,

60
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:28,160
What do I have to finally do
to get the coming year

61
00:05:28,260 --> 00:05:30,310
be called the Year of the Mouse?

62
00:05:30,450 --> 00:05:33,870
You have to be like us!

63
00:05:39,610 --> 00:05:43,480
The Year of the Monkey was so named

64
00:05:43,580 --> 00:05:48,510
because she is the way she is...

65
00:05:48,610 --> 00:05:51,660
The Year of the Tiger was so named

66
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,610
because he is the way he is...

67
00:05:55,710 --> 00:05:59,760
They... are the way they are...

68
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,780
But I... am the way I am!

69
00:06:02,890 --> 00:06:06,330
Therefore, the coming year can be

70
00:06:06,430 --> 00:06:09,160
named the Year of the Mouse!

71
00:06:09,290 --> 00:06:12,000
Sensible! - said the camel,

72
00:06:12,100 --> 00:06:16,180
Sensible! I am also the way I am.

73
00:06:16,280 --> 00:06:20,340
so the new year shall be
named the Year of the Camel.

74
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:24,280
Especially since you, Mouse,
do not really need it that much.

75
00:06:24,380 --> 00:06:26,000
No, I do need it!

76
00:06:26,100 --> 00:06:28,260
I do, I do, I do need it!

77
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,350
I thought of it first!

78
00:06:31,450 --> 00:06:33,056
I won't, I won't, I won't have

79
00:06:33,180 --> 00:06:36,480
the year be named
the Year of the Camel!

80
00:06:36,623 --> 00:06:42,300
Enough!
Whoever will first see the sun tomorrow

81
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,820
will give the year its name.

82
00:07:06,340 --> 00:07:08,550
Night came.

83
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,680
The mouse began to cry,
trying to arouse pity in the camel.

84
00:07:25,790 --> 00:07:31,680
Ai-ai-ai. How terrible...
I cannot hide in a hole...

85
00:07:31,986 --> 00:07:35,730
or else... I won't see the sun...

86
00:07:36,900 --> 00:07:39,373
Ai-ai-ai-ai-ai, a fox
is sneaking up on me...

87
00:07:39,463 --> 00:07:40,670
No, it's a marten!

88
00:07:40,770 --> 00:07:42,290
An owl!

89
00:07:42,390 --> 00:07:46,170
Dear camel, save me, help!

90
00:07:46,270 --> 00:07:50,530
Let me climb on top of your hump.

91
00:07:52,570 --> 00:07:57,540
When I stand up, my
head will be above my hump.

92
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,980
Therefore, I'll see the sun first.

93
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,560
You may climb up!

94
00:08:07,023 --> 00:08:10,540
But don't you dare look East!

95
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,680
Where should I look, then?

96
00:08:13,343 --> 00:08:14,226
West!

97
00:08:14,410 --> 00:08:16,170
But how can I then...

98
00:08:16,270 --> 00:08:18,690
Enough! Turn around,

99
00:08:18,790 --> 00:08:21,490
or I'll shake you off!

100
00:08:56,590 --> 00:09:01,580
Hooray! The sun, the sun!

101
00:09:02,390 --> 00:09:04,720
The sun? In the West?

102
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,000
There is nothing surprising here.

103
00:09:08,100 --> 00:09:13,100
After all, the dawn first colors
the tops of the mountains

104
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,040
which rise in the West.

105
00:09:16,276 --> 00:09:21,290
The mouse was the first to see the
sunrise and received an honored place

106
00:09:21,390 --> 00:09:23,600
in the heavenly sphere.

107
00:09:23,740 --> 00:09:27,750
But why?! - the camel roared.

108
00:09:29,806 --> 00:09:34,840
�he Year of the Mouse was so named
because the mouse

109
00:09:34,943 --> 00:09:39,710
is the smartest! Just the way I am!

110
00:09:56,983 --> 00:09:59,790
THE END
