    		Goat, monkey and rooster.

    "Now not long afterwards, a raft arrived with the goat, the monkey, and the rooster on it! They explained to the Jade emporer that they had shared the raft that the rooster found. The goat and the monkey had cleared the weeds and pushed the raft to shore."

    		The sheep, monkey and rooster.

    Here's an interesting story as to why the animals appear in a certain order in the Chinese Zodiac.

    But thirteen? Even my son's handout from school shows only twelve - same as the number of months - right? And his handout also shows that it is a sheep, not a goat.

    		Yet, some sites say sheep or goat. So IDK. But I remember hearing Year of the Ram.

    Poor old thirteen is a much maligned number. Shunned by the superstitious, feared by the triskaidekaphobic and rued as the beginning of the pimple ridden teenage years. I'd like to change all that with a quiz written especially for number thirteen.
