   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   If someone comes to your house for milk on May Day and if you begrudge it to them your cows will have no more milk or butter for that year but if you do not begrudge it you will have a lot of milk and butter for that year. On May Day if you milked your neighbours cow your cow would have the milk and butter of that cow for that year. The old people used to tie the May flowers round their cows horns so that their cows would have a lot of milk for that year. If you got up at six o'clock May morning and wash your face with the dew and dry it with the sun you would have good luck for that year. It is not right to let out any cow until after twelve o'clock on May Day because the fairies might steal them. If you put down a clutch of duck eggs in the middle of May Day you would have all ducks and if you put them down before the sun gets up or after it goes down you will have all drakes. If you cut your finger with a stone on May Day it will never get better. You will have bad luck for the year if you give away salt or a coal on May
