    When you see a black horse, you should turn back.
    A child born with a caul is lucky.
    Friday's flitting is a short sitting.
    It is lucky to put on part of clothing inside out.
    If you see a new moon salute it nine times and you will get a present.
    When you see a star shooting, wish, and you will get your wish.
    It is unlucky to get married in red.
    If you have bad luck luck playing cards, turn your chair around three times and you will have good luck.
    When you see the new moon turn the money in your pocket and you will have plenty money for the year.
