The need for saying "God Bless or "Good Luck"
One time a man who was ploughing and a tea man came along. He never said "Bail ó Dhía ar an obair" or any blessing but stood up talking. He started praising the horses but he never said "Good luck to them" or "God Bless Them" and after a time he went away. He was not gone far till one of the horses fell dead.
