A New Interpretation of the Twelve Zodiacs

The twelve zodiacs
In the Chinese calendar
Signifies twelve potentialities
Twelve characters
Twelve charms
All will contribute to 
The varieties and success of the world 
One may believe that 
The pig - simple and easily satisfied are non-crime committing
The dog - alert for dangers give warning in times 
The rooster-give morning calls for a fresh day work, so abiding and loyal
The monkey-inquisitive though, add laughters to cheer up the world 
The sheep-a coat of protection from freezing and so hardships 
The horse-galloping like a swift wind, symbolizing energetic will bring success
The snake-a winding movement to escape from blockades and hardships in a wise way 
The dragon-signifies prosperity, and dreams will come true with hardworks
The rabbit-soft and humble in nature 
The tiger-energetic and powerful
The ox-hardworking and enduring 
The rat-active even in the darkness of misfortunes 
These twelve distinguishing characters of mankind 
Will decide the future of the world tomorrow
