    Long ago when people wanted to call horses they used to say "Phtough Phtough"
    People call sheep by saying "Ham Ham " "lute Lute" to call ducks "Chew Chew" to call cows.
    People say it is unlucky to set hens on Friday they should always be set on Monday.
    When people set hens they always put 13 eggs under them.
