    If a woman was making a churning on May morning and a man came in to light his pipe. She would not let him bring a coal with him for fear he would bring the butter with him.
    They say it is not right to take a coal out of a house where a person is sick, for fear that person would die.
    It is bad luck to spill salt.
    I heard this story from James O. Malley Cloonty
    (aged 90 years)
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
