    1. If a person is asked to be sponsor for a child, it is not right to refuse. It is said the child will die if this is done.
    2. If a child dies, no other child of that family should be called by the same name as the dead child. If it is done it is believed the child will die.
    3. If a child dies, no other child of that family should wear the dead child's clothes. If they do, they will take the illness the first child died with and die also from the same disease.
