- (continued from previous page)It is considered unlucky to shoot a Mag-pie.When the Mag chirps on a tree outside the door you may expect a letter.One Mag is for sorrow,
Two is for joy,
Three is for a marriage
And four is for a boy
Five is for a story never to be told
Six is for silver
And seven for gold. - Transcription guide »You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
