    If a coal falls off the fire some one is to come in.
    If one keeps looking in the mirror at night he will be sick in the morning.
    If you keep stirring the crane you are washing the devil's shirt.
    If you get an asses show lost and hang it upside down you will have good luck but if you hang it straight you will have bad luck.
    It is not right to throw out anything New Year's Day.
    If you get up before sunrise on May morning and wash your face with the due you will be up early
