- Rhyme about the magpie according to the number seen.
One for sorrow,
Two for joy,
Three for a wedding,
Four to die,
Five for silver,
Six for gold,
Seven for a secret,
Never to be told.

- A man had a hen thirty years old. One day a hawk took it. After about an hour it came back with two broken claws and a broken bill. The hawk left down the hen and took up an old rubber boot.
