  2. The Lore of Certain Days

    In my district changing from one house to another is always done on Friday. Before people build a house they make a sort of cabin on the place where the house is about to be built. This is done on a Thursday night and if it is thrown the following morning the people consider it unlucky to build on that place.
    Monday for health,
    Tuseday for wealth,
    Wednesday the best day of all,
    Thursday for losses,
    Friday for crosses,
    Saturday no day at all
