She piled up the stones one after another. This was her joypile. There were thirteen stones in all. One for the little blue mug. One for the feather of the Azure-winged magpie that her uncle got from China. Then there was one for that day she got to climb the hill and saw a rainbow.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the stones toppled over.
Thirteen was always unlucky.
