    If a weasel of a yellow colour crosses your path you would have great luck but if a weasel of any other colour passes you by, you would have bad luck.
    If anyone jumped over your feet and didn't jump back again you would never grow.
    If you were struck by an elder branch you would never grow.
    If you enter a home with a twig or a spade on your back you will never grow.
    If you start work on a Saturday you will never have luck at it. Also it would be nine weeks before you would have it finished.
