  1. Friday is a lucky day for putting down a clutch of eggs. Friday is also a lucky day for moving into another house, or for starting on a long journey, or for starting work.
    There was once a cow who longed for March to be over, because she thought she would with the cold. At last March was over. The cow had lived and she gave three leaps for joy.
    March was very angry with the cow and he borrowed three days from April, and the three days of April were worse than any day in March. The poor cow died with the cold and was skined in the three days, and that is why the first three days of April are called the three "Reevogue Days".
