Legend has it that the Lord Buddha summoned all the animals to come bid him farewell before he departed the Earth. Only 12 showed up and, to show his appreciation, he named a year for each animal in the order of its arrival: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep/Ram, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig. On February 9, was the beginning of the Year of the Rooster – he who heralds in the day and announces its exit. People born in the Year of the Rooster (1909, 1921, 1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, and 2005) are believed to be proud, dignified and flamboyant and to posses a heart of gold.
