Why do I want to become a civil servant?

In a certain year and month, the heavens planned to recruit one civil servant. Upon hearing this, the twelve zodiac animals rushed to sign up. During the qualification review, the chief examiner asked them why they had applied, and each zodiac sign expressed its own reasons; the records are as follows: Rat: In the past, whenever I went out on the street, people would shout at me to be beaten. I only stole a little food, and yet so many people criticized me harshly. Look at those high-ranking officials and politicians – their homes are filled with cigarettes, their houses brim with alcohol, and their bank accounts have multiple digits. It doesn’t even matter; there are still people on TV and in newspapers who praise them. ??Cow: I eat grass, and what comes out is milk. On snowy days, I have to pull charcoal to sell it; on rainy days, I have to go out to plow the fields. In short, there are few days of leisure throughout the year. What’s even worse is that, even after dying, they are still torn apart and their flesh eaten. I heard that once you become a civil servant and work in an office, your days consist of \"a cup of tea and a cigarette, plus reading a newspaper for half a day.\" This is something I’ve dreamed of for so long! With time, I can also chat more with my sister Zhinv for a while on QQ. ??Tiger: Though I am the king of the mountains, this is a remote and isolated place; I eat simple meals every day, and the most luxurious treat I can have is catching a pheasant for a meal. But I’ve heard that once you become a civil servant, people often treat you to meals – today it’s seafood, tomorrow it’s game meat; here you eat what flies in the air, and there you eat what swims in the water. Hehe, talking about it makes my mouth water. ??Rabbit: I only built three small nests, which were used both as living spaces and offices, and I was criticized for that. Look at those government office buildings – they’re so tall that I can’t even see their tops. Those offices are luxurious, even more so than hotels; they have air conditioning, TVs, refrigerators, and everything one could possibly need. It’s all done under the pretext of improving working conditions. It is said that individuals can also raise funds to build houses, so it’s good to be a civil servant. ??Dragon: I am a dragon; I can fly in the sky and dive underground, but the places I have been to are only a handful. Look at Director Li – today he’s in Europe, tomorrow in the Americas, and who knows, the day after that he might be shopping in Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand. Why can he run around? Study trip* – it’s necessary for work! I can travel across mountains and rivers, visit various countries, but to realize my dream now, there is only one way: to become a civil servant. ??Snake: I was born beautiful, but even beauty has its decline; that’s why I need to buy fashion clothes, wear makeup, and take care of my appearance. All of these require money, and it’s not a small amount – how can one afford them with just their own salary? But Xiao Mei, who lives next door to me, goes to some SPA resorts every day. Why? They have some magical item called a “seal”; all I want now is to figure out how to get that item. ??Ma: Others call me a womanizer; it’s really embarrassing to admit it, but I’ve only had one romantic affair in my life. Look at Director Li – he not only has a second wife, a third wife… an Nth wife, but he also has a lover who uses an MBA to manage things for him. That’s what truly means colorful flags fluttering and music playing night after night. Compared to him, I feel utterly ashamed; now, the opportunity to surpass him is right before me. ??Sheep: Why do I always have to suffer for others, be exploited by them? Why am I always the one who gets hurt? Because I am just a sheep, yet to don a wolf’s skin. Look at my relative the goat, dressed in a wolf skin known as a “uniform,” looking extremely domineering. ??Monkey: I come from Flower-Fruit Mountain. But I’m not as lucky as my grandfather, Sun Wukong. He stole the elixir of immortality from the Supreme Lord Laozi, which allowed him to live forever and be free from all worries. But I can’t; I’ll get sick, I’ll grow old, so I have to plan for my future. I heard that civil servants have pension insurance and health insurance... So, I should give it a try too. ??Chicken: The reason I can enjoy delicious food and spicy dishes today is that my brother-in-law succeeded in his career and became an official. For my seventh aunt and eighth aunt, I too need to work hard. ??Dog: I heard that one essential requirement for being a civil servant is the ability to act as a servant. This is an excellent tradition of my canine race; I was born to be a servant. So on this stage, I am sure I can fully demonstrate my abilities and achieve great things. ??Pig: My name is Pig. People say I’m stupid because I didn’t get a good seat. Look at Director Zhu upstairs of me – isn’t he just as full of himself as I am? If I get admitted, hehe……
