- The people long ago would not let their cows out on Whit Sunday, as they were afraid that they would wet themselves above their ankles, for they said, that either a person or animals that would wet themselves above their ankles, would die in water before that time twelve months.
They said that a calf that was born on Whit Sunday would be cross.
They also said a baby that would be born on Whit Sunday would be very contrary.- Collector
