Sheep are the good samaritans of the Chinese zodiac. They are gentle mannered and on the shy side. Being very sincere they are easily taken by a sob story. Sheep people are compassionate, understanding of others' faults, and quick to forgive.

Sheep like to set their own hours and will not tolerate too much discipline. They are also very offended if they are criticized. They cannot work well under pressure and must be allowed to do things at their own speed. Sheep need somebody to discipline them, thought in order to utilize their talents. They usually find someone to look after and care for them.

Good furtune smiles upon the sheep. They benefit from wills and inheritances. Even in the roughest of times, the Sheep always acquire the basic needs. Sheep get their own way without force or voilence. They have that passive endurance that drives you mad. Eventually they wear you down with their pleas. You just can't break them!

Sheep never come right out and discuss what's bothering them. You pry it out of them bit by bit. When alls else fails, yell at them, and bang things around. They should be impressed and might unfold all their secret woes; then, you can clear the air. The Sheep are family people. They never forget anyone's birthday, and you had better not forget theirs! Sheep worry, too. They wants others to cheer them up and tell them everything will be okey.

Sheep overspend and should avoid dealing with money. They find it hard to be practical and would lovea life of luxury and easy. Ugly things will depress Sheep. They hate to displease anyone especially their loved ones. They will edge around an issue rather than take a firm stand. Difficulties are a delicate issue with Sheep. They are too sensitive and often overreact. Reassure them often.

Romance is a part of the Sheep's being. Moonlight and roses, soft music and candlelight will get them every time. They tend to view the world through rose-colored glasses. Sheep do not usually have to work hard. Good things just happen naturally. They need bright, airy surroundings and excel in creative field. Appreciation of their talents make Sheep glow, and with encouragement, they can go far in life.

My first experience of real winter weather was when I went to Northern Canada.

In fact, most of the time I was growing up, it didn't really snow at all - it was mostly _(2)_  . Otherwise, our winters meant a little bit of white _(3)_  in my garden and occasionally having to drive very carefully on icy roads early in the morning. I had never experienced the _(4)_  and _(5)_  that can paralyze a whole city in less than an hour and close roads completely.
