    Superstitions.
    To meet a corpse on the road is unlucky.
    If you fall on Whit Sunday you will never get better.
    If the cock crows at your door some one inside the house will die.
    If the cock crows before midnight it is unlucky because something is going to happen.
    If you break a mirror you will have seven years bad luck.
    If you drop your glove it is a disappointment for you and some one else has to lift it.
    If you see straw on the road you should touch it three times. It is very lucky
