There is a splendid picture of a rooster in the room where the crimson flower merchant says.  And they say that it crows at midnight. God creates the calendar to rule the world, and wants the animals to protect it.  The animals all rush to God's temple on new years.  But the rat lies to the cat. Zenzaemon, of Kishou Swamp, is sent to learn the secrets of salt-making from Akou Province and is caught.  But official Ooishi Kuranosuke is moved by his devotion to his homeland, and lets him go.
The cows are the first to 
wish you a Happy New Year.
Llegamos primero para 
saludarlo en Año nuevo.
Hemos llegado los primeros 
para felicitarle el Año Nuevo.
As vacas foram as primeiras 
a vir te cumprimentar.
