- (continued from previous page)If you are sitting at the fire and if sparks fly towards you it is a sign you will be getting money.
It is a sign of good luck to find a safety pin.
If you hear the cuckoo for the first time with your right ear it is said you will have good luck for the rest of the year.
If you hear the cuckoo with left ear for the first time it is said you will not have much luck.
When you hear the cuckoo the first time and if you look at the sole of your shoe and if you find a grey nib of hair it is a sign you will live till you be old.
If you do not find a grey nib it is supposed you will die young.
When your hand itchy and if you touch would it is a sign you will get money.
