Zodiac Story
The following was taken from TOKYOPOP's Fruits Basket Fanbook -Cat-.
God said to the animals, "I'm inviting you all to my banquet tomorrow. Don't be late."
Hearing that, the mischievous Rat lied to his neighbor the Cat, and told him the banquet would be the day after tomorrow.
The next day, the Rat rode on the back of the Ox, and nimbly landed before the banquet hall. After him followed the Ox, the Tiger, and all the rest, and together they feasted until morning.
All except for the Cat, who had been tricked.
