    If you wash your head in the dew of May morning you will not have a headache for the year.
    If you wash your feet you will get stone bruises.
    If you cross another one's ditch on May morning and say "All the butter from that churn into mine!" you will have plenty of butter that year.

    If you skim the village well with a saucer on May morning before any one else you will have all the butter of any one going to that well.
