    If one leads a good life until twenty one and then turns bad he will be sure to come back again.
    If one have a hiccough a sudden fright will stop it.
    If a swallow pulls three ribs of your head you will be sure to die before the year is up.
    When carrying out a coffin the first four that take it have to be of the same name as the person that is dead.
    If a person steal an onion out of his neighbour's garden all his onions will rot.
