The Legend
The Goat's journey to eighth place in the zodiac is a story of teamwork and sacrifice.
During the great race, the Goat, the Monkey, and the Rooster arrived at the river together, unable to cross. But they didn't give up. The Rooster spotted a raft, while the Goat and the Monkey cleared the weeds and pushed it across. Together, they reached the shore and secured their places in the zodiac.
Another legend tells of the Goat's sacrifice for humanity. In Chinese folklore, the Goat stole grains and seeds from Heaven to give to humans. Humans planted those seeds and grew crops, and the Goat's generosity saved them from hunger.
