    to put an umbrella over your head in a house, it means a quarrel.
    If you drop a fork it means a stranger coming into the house, and if you drop a spoon it means a man coming, and if you drop a knife it means a woman coming to the house.
    If you see a wisp of straw on a hen's tail, it is a sure sign that a stranger is coming to the house.
