    You should never go to or come from a wake at night alone.
    If you went out at night with a hazel stick, you would never meet a ghost.
    It would not be right to make a new cradle for the first baby.
    It is not right to go to see a sick person on Monday, Wednesday or Friday.
    If you heard a cock crow in the evening it is a sign that someone is going to die.
    If you had the first drop of water out of seven wells on May morning you would have seven years of good luck.
