“It is not right to bring a brush from the old house into a new house it is right to leave it in the old house.”
Kathleen LewisI heard those Pisreogs going around this country.
(1) It is not right to bring a brush from the okd house into a new house it is right to leave it in the old house.
(2) It is not right to bring a cat into a new house unless it follows you.
(3) You should not bring pigs into a new house you should sell them before you leave the old house or you will have bad luck.
(4) If you see a hare crossing the road before you, you will have bad luck.
(5) If you hear a magpie outside the door you will get a cheque in a letter.
