十二生肖鼠神話(huà)故事

子鼠不知從什么時(shí)候開(kāi)始，"過(guò)街老鼠人人喊打'就成了深入人心的話(huà)語(yǔ)不過(guò)也確實(shí)如此。很久以前，老鼠可是一個(gè)大大的毛賊，說(shuō)他為"人人喊打"一點(diǎn)也不過(guò)分，不僅如此，他那個(gè)"好朋友"貓也是個(gè)大壞蛋呢!老鼠的壞名聲，卻愁壞了他家的姑娘。"別人家的姑娘都嫁人了，那嫁衣鮮紅鮮紅的，好像晚霞一樣……不行，我也要穿嫁衣，我也要戴珠釵，我也要嫁人!"老鼠女兒不開(kāi)心地說(shuō)道。"嫁人?"老鼠撓撓頭，有誰(shuí)愿意娶老鼠的女兒呢?"乖女兒，別著急，我們慢慢找個(gè)好婆家，應(yīng)該，咳咳……或許會(huì)有人喜歡上你的!"這天，黃鼠狼來(lái)老鼠家里做客。"聽(tīng)說(shuō)你在為女兒找婆家?""是啊!我女兒雖然長(zhǎng)得沉魚(yú)落雁、閉月羞花，但是，攤上了我這樣一個(gè)老爹，也不容易嫁出去啊!愁死了，愁死我了!""鼠兄，貓有一身本領(lǐng)，還是老虎的師父，你們又是這么多年的朋友，不如把女兒嫁給貓，這樣，你們就不愁吃穿了啊!"老鼠心想∶"我和貓也是幾十年的交情了，他的家底我也清楚，現(xiàn)在乖女兒要嫁人，不如就嫁給貓吧!""好，好，好!所言極是!那還要?jiǎng)跓┬值転樾∨f(shuō)媒啦!"黃鼠狼提著兩條魚(yú)，大搖大擺地來(lái)到貓的家門(mén)口。"貓兄，小弟剛為你說(shuō)了門(mén)親事，包你滿(mǎn)意!"黃鼠狼說(shuō)。只見(jiàn)貓正坐在草堆里，一副若有所思的樣子。黃鼠狼笑著湊到貓跟前說(shuō)∶"貓兄，事情是這樣的……"貓聽(tīng)后哈哈大笑起來(lái)，同意了此事。正月初七，老鼠嫁女兒。張燈結(jié)彩，喜燈高照，一片喜慶熱鬧。鼠新娘頭戴花冠，身著紅衣，嬌羞地坐在花轎內(nèi)等待自己的新郎。轎子由四只老鼠晃晃悠悠地抬著，走在送親隊(duì)伍的最前面。送親的老鼠都前呼后擁，只聽(tīng)見(jiàn)鑼鼓喧天，嗩吶歡唱，好不熱鬧!貓新郎把鼠新娘帶進(jìn)洞房里，鼠新娘剛要掀開(kāi)蓋頭，突然貓一把抓住鼠新娘，張開(kāi)大口把她吞進(jìn)肚里。原來(lái)，貓和老鼠做朋友只是圈套，目的是為了吃掉所有的老鼠。險(xiǎn)中逃生的老鼠悲痛欲絕，每天東躲西藏，沒(méi)過(guò)上一天好日子，他走街串巷，只敢在子時(shí)出來(lái)覓食。時(shí)值雨季，孤零零的老鼠流浪到一片竹林，只見(jiàn)竹林深處有座氣派非凡的道觀，隱隱約約透著股仙氣。不久后，一位白胡子的仙人踱步來(lái)到老鼠身邊∶"昨日我夜觀天象，料到今日有貴人來(lái)訪，不知貴人身在何處?""呵!小不點(diǎn)，原來(lái)是你!"仙人提起老鼠，把他收入衣袖之中。快要天黑的時(shí)候，老鼠在離道觀不遠(yuǎn)的地方昏迷了過(guò)去。"是您救了我嗎?我該怎么報(bào)答您呢?"老鼠睜開(kāi)眼睛后，搖搖晃晃地對(duì)著仙人就是一拜。老道士聽(tīng)聞了老鼠的經(jīng)歷，十分同情，便對(duì)老鼠說(shuō)∶"聽(tīng)說(shuō)玉皇大帝正在選拔掌管時(shí)辰的仙官，鑒于你的身世和經(jīng)歷.不妨一試。"老鼠聽(tīng)聞此事，答應(yīng)了老道士，并跟隨老道士一同上了天宮。ChineseZodiacLegendhasitthattheEmperorofHeavenintendedtopickuptweleanimalsinordertorepresenttheChinesezodiac.Andhesaid,"Thefirsttwelveanimalsofyouwhocomeherethedayaftertomorrow
