  1. Old Customs

    Share Share Post
    The old people had a lot of old customs long ago.
    (1) If there was a wake in a house long ago the people of the house would get three certain men to cry three times in the night.
    (2) Long ago the people would not begin any work but on Friday, because it is the luckiest day in the week.
    (3) The people long ago would not begin any work on Saturday, or if they did, they would be seven Saturdays at the work.
