  1. Unlucky Days

    Share Share Post
    Some people say that it is unlucky to start to work on a Saturday. When some people say that it is unlucky to see a magpie when they are going a journey. Once upon a time a woman was on the fair of Maryboro and she didn't get her right. She cursed the fair and ever since that day the day on which the fair is wet. If a person puts on his clothes inside out it is the sign of good luck.
