- (continued from previous page)On November night a lot of tricks are always. Some people. Some people put an apple in water, and try to take it out, with their mouth, and their eyes closed. Others play similar tricks, such as putting their shoes in the form of a "T" and it is said that they will marry the person, they dream of that night. While doing so, they say
I will place my shoes in the form of a "T".
In hopes to night my true love to see.
The colour of his hair
The clothes he will wear
And the happy days, he will be married to me.
Other tricks are also played on November night. They are mostly done by the children, of the houses. A number of them gather together in one place.
