Spring Festival arrived on Feb. 19th this year. It’s Year of  the Sheep. What stories do you know about the animal?

(1) One of China’s biggest cities, Guangzhou, is called the “City of Goats(山羊)”. It is said that thousands of years ago, five fairies(仙女) came down from heaven on goats. They left good grain seeds(谷物的种子)for people. They hoped people there had enough food. The fairies flew away. And the goats became stone sculptures(石雕). They still stand in the city center today.

In China, those who were born in the Year of the Sheep are said to have good qualities(品质). They are sensitive(敏感的), creative and smart. And they are not afraid of difficulties. Chinese legend says that people born in the Year of the Sheep have a difficult life. Is that really true?(3) But today many men who were born in the Year of the Sheep lead a very good life.
