十二生肖鼠神话故事

子鼠不知从什么时候开始，"过街老鼠人人喊打'就成了深入人心的话语不过也确实如此。很久以前，老鼠可是一个大大的毛贼，说他为"人人喊打"一点也不过分，不仅如此，他那个"好朋友"猫也是个大坏蛋呢!老鼠的坏名声，却愁坏了他家的姑娘。"别人家的姑娘都嫁人了，那嫁衣鲜红鲜红的，好像晚霞一样……不行，我也要穿嫁衣，我也要戴珠钗，我也要嫁人!"老鼠女儿不开心地说道。"嫁人?"老鼠挠挠头，有谁愿意娶老鼠的女儿呢?"乖女儿，别着急，我们慢慢找个好婆家，应该，咳咳……或许会有人喜欢上你的!"这天，黄鼠狼来老鼠家里做客。"听说你在为女儿找婆家?""是啊!我女儿虽然长得沉鱼落雁、闭月羞花，但是，摊上了我这样一个老爹，也不容易嫁出去啊!愁死了，愁死我了!""鼠兄，猫有一身本领，还是老虎的师父，你们又是这么多年的朋友，不如把女儿嫁给猫，这样，你们就不愁吃穿了啊!"老鼠心想∶"我和猫也是几十年的交情了，他的家底我也清楚，现在乖女儿要嫁人，不如就嫁给猫吧!""好，好，好!所言极是!那还要劳烦兄弟为小女说媒啦!"黄鼠狼提着两条鱼，大摇大摆地来到猫的家门口。"猫兄，小弟刚为你说了门亲事，包你满意!"黄鼠狼说。只见猫正坐在草堆里，一副若有所思的样子。黄鼠狼笑着凑到猫跟前说∶"猫兄，事情是这样的……"猫听后哈哈大笑起来，同意了此事。正月初七，老鼠嫁女儿。张灯结彩，喜灯高照，一片喜庆热闹。鼠新娘头戴花冠，身着红衣，娇羞地坐在花轿内等待自己的新郎。轿子由四只老鼠晃晃悠悠地抬着，走在送亲队伍的最前面。送亲的老鼠都前呼后拥，只听见锣鼓喧天，唢呐欢唱，好不热闹!猫新郎把鼠新娘带进洞房里，鼠新娘刚要掀开盖头，突然猫一把抓住鼠新娘，张开大口把她吞进肚里。原来，猫和老鼠做朋友只是圈套，目的是为了吃掉所有的老鼠。险中逃生的老鼠悲痛欲绝，每天东躲西藏，没过上一天好日子，他走街串巷，只敢在子时出来觅食。时值雨季，孤零零的老鼠流浪到一片竹林，只见竹林深处有座气派非凡的道观，隐隐约约透着股仙气。不久后，一位白胡子的仙人踱步来到老鼠身边∶"昨日我夜观天象，料到今日有贵人来访，不知贵人身在何处?""呵!小不点，原来是你!"仙人提起老鼠，把他收入衣袖之中。快要天黑的时候，老鼠在离道观不远的地方昏迷了过去。"是您救了我吗?我该怎么报答您呢?"老鼠睁开眼睛后，摇摇晃晃地对着仙人就是一拜。老道士听闻了老鼠的经历，十分同情，便对老鼠说∶"听说玉皇大帝正在选拔掌管时辰的仙官，鉴于你的身世和经历.不妨一试。"老鼠听闻此事，答应了老道士，并跟随老道士一同上了天宫。ChineseZodiacLegendhasitthattheEmperorofHeavenintendedtopickuptweleanimalsinordertorepresenttheChinesezodiac.Andhesaid,"Thefirsttwelveanimalsofyouwhocomeherethedayaftertomorrow
