A legend spoken in the Orient, tells about the naming of a year. The
people of Orient (China, Japan, and other countries) have namings for 12
years. Each of those years named with one animal, each next named year
changes each finished one by one. When all listed namings are finished,
this list begins again. Ones when only 11 years took namings of 11
animals, the last one remained not named. Near to the beginning of the
12'th year the mouse and the camel where debating about whose name
should take the next year.

Finally they decided to conduct the conquest; that one who'll first
truelly declare about a sun, will be a winner, and with a name of winner
will be named the last year in the list of 12 years. They set at the
ground and waited for a dawn.

* The mice asked the camel to permit it to get on camel's head,
because camel is taller and it sees farer.
* The camel agreed but, when mice got on camels head, camel
required mouse, to look in opposite direction from the side were the sun
comes from.
* Mice asked the camel about how it could see the sun if the sun
comes from the other side.
* The camel told it is not its care, and it may manage its head as
it wants.
* "A sun", screamed a mouse.
* The camel turned its head and saw the tops of mountains lighted
by the sun.
* The mice turned together with camel's head at the next moment saw
the Sun, came from the horizon.

Since the mice won the contest, its declaration went global.

This is not quite usual interpretation of the legend, if you want
original find some. After the philosophy from Orient, taught that not
everything is such as it looks like.
