    If there is a person going to England it is right to say "God send hime luck"
    If you see a cow shaking herself on a fine day is the sign or rain
    If you see a flock of sheep gathered togthered it is the sign of rain
    If you are going to a new place it is not right to bring a white cat but it is lucky to bring a black cat.
