    Somepeople plait the cows tail, and put a knot in the end of it.
    When the horse is clipped somepeople keep the hair, and put it together every year.
    It is said that if you get a horse-shoe on the road you should pick it up and take it home with you.
    Somepeople put a cross on the eggs when they are setting them inorder to bring good luck on the eggs. When we call the chicken we say "Chicj, "Chick", "Chick".
