  1. Death and Burial

    When a person is dead they say it is right to take the clock of the dresser and to leve it some where far from where the person is left.
    It is not right to cry when a person is dying because you are keeping the soul out of heven.
    If you hear a dead bell in your ear it is a sure sine that some one is dead and if you make the sine of the cross on your ear it will go.
