    It is unlucky to put out the ashes on New Year's Day. It is lucky to have goats with cattle in the field. To start work on Saturday or Tuesday is unlucky. It is unlucky to fall in the graveyard. It is unlucky to go fishing on Whit-Sunday. When you are changing into a new house it is unlucky to bring a cat with you. It is lucky to walk underneath a tree that there are two branches touching the ground. It's lucky to get a pen lost.
