  1. (continued from previous page)
    on his way to the fair he knows he may turn back as he is going to have bad luck.
    When we meet anyone going up or down the stairs that is said to bring bad luck.
    If we see a black cat on the road when we are going to travel we know we may continue our journey as we will have good luck.
    When we see one magpie on a tree we are also sure of good luck.
