  1. Proverbs

    Share Share Post
    Never build a new house on a fairy path if you do you will never have luck
    When you wash your feet you should always put a pin in the water before you thrown it away if you do you'll never get corns.
    Yoy should always put the chairs in a ring round the fire and gather up the cinders because poor wandering spirits will come
    If two people washed in the same water there would surely be a row
    If two knives were crossed on a table there would be a row
    If any-body changed in May have no luck.
