  1. (continued from previous page)
    the fairies would bring the child and leave a delicate one instead.
    if you went astray in the darkness and stood and turned your coat inside out you would be able to find your way. if a person did not say God bless them to new stock the owner would have to get a piece of his clothes to burn and give the ashes to the stock or else the stock would die.
    To break a mirror brings seven years of misfortune.
    If you walk under a stepladder standing against a wall you would never grow
    If a coal falls from the fire that is a sign of a visitor.
