- November night is a very pleasant night. The children likes November night to come because they have great fun. It was an old costume to dive for apples, nuts, and money on that night. Young girls and boys had a special way to find out their future lives. They used put a plate of water a plate of clay and a plate of money on the table. The young girl would be blindfolded and sent up to the table. If she put her finer on the water she would go over the sea. If she put her on the clay she will die and if she put her on the money she will be rich for ever.(continues on next page)
