    When the sparks fly out of the fire it is a sign that you will get money.
    When a donkey brays it is a sign that a tinker is dead.
    If your right ear is hot it is a sign that someone will scold you.
    If you see a tea-leaf floating on top of your tea it is a sign that you will get a letter.
    When your nose is itchy it is a sign that someone is talking bad about you.
