  1. (continued from previous page)
    and a She-gee came along and it was taking all the hay up in the heavens. He took off his hat to bless himself and when the She-gee was passing him he pegged his hat after it. He saw it going off up in the heavens and it spinning around and around. It is a very good thing to bless yourself when a whirlwind comes along.

  2. When a person sees the new moon he should say "God bless the new moon, and God bless me I sees the new moon, and the new moon sees me." Every time there is a new moon that should be said, and then a person would have luck. It isn't right to look sideways at the moon. A person should look straight at the moon.
