Welcome, everybody, to this great swimming race to mark His Majesty the Emperor’s birthday! And what a marvellous day for it, too. We have some great racers competing for a magnificent prize. Whats the prize? Maybe its something we can eat  I hope its carrots Carrots? Don’t be ridiculous! It will be something Valuable. Sssssssssssomething golden? Ssssssssomething shiny?	Unlike some of you, I’ve been doing some real training – one hundred laps every day. But it might be what gives the upper hand – or upper hoof, I should say!  A golden carrot!  Whatever it is, I’m going to win it. You sound very confident,  How have you all been preparing for this race? I’ve been practising blowing bubbles in the water.	. You’re cutting things fine, Rat. . I tried to get here as fast as possible. Have I missed the race? . No, we’re still waiting for the Emperor to arrive. . Where’s Cat?  I haven’t seen Cat since last night. . But weren’t the two of you travelling here together? (nervously). She was still fast asleep when I left this morning. I’m sure she’ll be here any second. I’d better go and change into my swimming togs.
. Rat is acting a little suspiciously. . You’re right. Something doesn’t add up. . Why didn’t he wake Cat? . He knows how important this big race is. . I smell ... a rat! . Sssssabotage! t doesn’t matter. You snooze; you lose. Anyway, I don’t think a teeny, tiny rat could ever win this race. .  can be very fast when they need to be.. There’s no way a rat can beat me. I’ll cross that finish line before Rat has even started.  returns, wearing his swimming togs.	, you’re the smallest creature here. Some might say you’re the underdog – or the under-rat – of the race. . Well, I’ve trained hard, and I think my size might actually help. . Some of the other animals don’t consider you a threat. What do you think your chances are today? . I think I’ve got just as much chance as any of them. Marvellous! Well, best of luck to you, Now, I’ve just received word that His Majesty the Emperor is about to arrive.	Thank you, you’re all too kind. Welcome everyone to the great race! I know the competitors have all been working hard for this moment, and the winner will be rewarded with a great and wonderful prize.. The race is about to start. There is a lot of tension and excitement in the air! The animals line up along the start line. Most are looking nervous. appear confident.  Get ready, everyone! On your marks ... Get set ... Go!
. What a dramatic start to the race! Ox has taken the lead, but it looks like Tiger and Rabbit – yes, Rabbit – aren’t far behind. . How exciting! . This is harder than I thought!. Give up now, Rabbit – this is my race to win! . Don’t be so sure,  That’sss cheating! . Your Majesty, is this allowed? . This is my race, so I say ... I’ll allow it! As the animals reach the finish line, they begin to move and talk in slow motion. . What’s happening? . Why are we all moving sssssooooo ssssslooooowly? . Because this is more dramatic!	. That’sss cheating!  Your Majesty, is this allowed?  This is my race, so I say ... I’ll allow it! As the animals reach the finish line, they begin to move and talk in slow motion. . What’s happening? . Why are we all moving sssssooooo ssssslooooowly? . Because this is more dramatic! OX is out in the lead with RAT trailing behind, holding on to the rope. RAT uses the rope to pull himself closer to OX. As OX nears the finish line, RAT leapfrogs over OX to take the lead. . What’s this? Unbelievable – Rat has just leapt over Ox to take the lead! OX. Nooooo! RAT crosses the finish line, winning the race, followed by a dejected OX and then TIGER.	THE EMPEROR (shaking RAT’s hand). Congratulations, Rat! For your cunning method of winning the race, I award you ... first place in the Chinese zodiac. RAT (pausing for a second). Ha ha, good one! What’s the real prize? THE EMPEROR (frowning). That is the prize. Why? Don’t you like it? RAT (hurriedly). Of course, your Majesty. What a great honour. Thank you so much! CAT appears, looking very angry. CAT. You – Rat! Why didn’t you wake me up? I missed the race because of you! RAT. I ... I ... RAT darts off. CAT. Come back here, you sneaky Rat! CAT chases after RAT. TIGER. I don’t think Cat is going to forgive Rat in a hurry! THE COMMENTATOR. Well, what an exciting way to end this broadcast. It’s been a great day! Congratulations, racers, and to everyone at home – thanks for watching!

From early June, before sunrise, look to the north-east horizon. Find the constellation Tautoru, or Orion’s belt (sometimes called ‘the pot’). Trace a line northwards from the three stars of Tautoru. Look for a faint sparkle of tiny dots, about the same width as Tautoru is long. This is the Matariki star cluster. Matariki can also be seen during the summer months in this location of the sky after sunset.The mother is Matariki, and her daughters are Tupu-ā-nuku, Tupu-ā-rangi, Waipuna Rangi, Waitī, Waitā, and Ururangi
