    May Day.
    xviii It is unlucky to throw out feet water at night.
    xviv It is wrong to let the tongs at the right side of the fire at night.
    xv Chairs should be left around the fire at night for the good people.
    xvi One magpie for bad luck.
    Two for good luck.
    Three for a wedding
    Four for a wake
    Five for silver
    Six for gold.
    And seven for a secret that had never been told.
