    (continued from previous page)
    When people were getting married long ago, they had to follow this rhyme.
    Something old
    Something new
    Something borrowed
    And something blue
    You should never start to plough on a Monday
    It is unlucky to steal anything out of plough
    It is unlucky to break a mirror
    If you spill salt your love will forsake you
    When your ear is hot it is the sign of somebody rideculing you
