    Seven for a secret that should never be told
    It is not lucky to go home from a wake without tasting something.
    If you broke a mirror you would have no luck for seven years.
    If a spoon fell it is a sign a child will come to your house.
    If a knife fell it is a sign a gentleman will come to your house.
    If a fork fell it is a sign a lady will come to your house.
    It is not lucky to hold anything made of steel while thunder and lightning is going on.
