- (continued from previous page)4. "It's unlucky to open umbresslas in the house"
5. It's not lucky to go into a house with tools on your shoulder.
6. It's unlucky to see a straw hanging out of a cock's leg, for it's a sign that someone is going to die.
7. It's lucky to have a horse with you at night, for if the horse stops, look out between his ears and you'll see what frightened him.
8. It's lucky to have a farthing in your purse.
9. When you're going on a journey it's not right to meet a woman first, or for a hare to cross your path.
