    On Hallow Eve night a lot of tricks are played. This is a description of one. - Three saucers are got, one with water, one with clay and another with money. Then a person is blindfolded and he goes to the saucers. If he touches the one with the water he will be travelling on water, if he touches the one with the clay he will die, and if he touches the one with the money he will get money.
