“Many people believe in old stories of the past and these are some.”
Many people believe in old stories of the past and these are some. It is said that if you broke a looking glass you would have seven years bad luck. Also if you met magpies out in the country you would have bad luck. If a person dropped their glove you should pick it up for them for if they picked it up themselves they would have a disappointment.
