- (continued from previous page)morning, if you are going a journey for you wont have any luck that day
- One for sorrow, two for joy, three for a letter, and four for a boy, five for silver, six for gold, and seven for a secret that cannot be told.
- Married in blue is sure to be true.
Married in black is sure to come back.
Married in white is sure to be right.
Married in brown you will live far from town.
Married in yellow you are ashamed of your fellow.
Married in red the tears will shed.
Married in grey you will live far away. Monday for health. Tuesday for wealth
Wednesday the best day of all,
Thursday for losses and Friday for crosses
Saturday no luck atall. Story
“Long ago there was a man going to swim in the river.”
