- (continued from previous page)If a picture falls off the wall without cause that does not please people they expect a death.
If a beast dies when a person is sick the owner does not regret it. He says
"All the bad luck go with it" or "Better than a Christian to go".
It usually happens that the sick person regains health.
Never get a good horse to draw the corpse to the grave yard. Good horses were known to pine away and die after bringing a corpse to the grave yard.
Very few horses will pull a dead horse. The living animal refuses to pull the dead one. People don't do around here. If a horse dies in a drain He is buried there or pulled out by the strength of men.
Somee say the horse has an acute sense of smell and cannot bear the smell of a dead horse. If forced to pull the dead animal he pines away and dies.- Collector
