    “People do not eat meat on a Wednesday for the cure of a toothache...”

    Share Share Post
    People do not eat meat on a Wednesday for the cure of a toothache. The people scatter flowers outside the house on May day. It is not lucky for people to go into a neighbour's house on New Year's day. May day is lucky for giving butter to the neighbours. The old people said it was lucky to get married on Friday. The people sow seed on Good Friday. If your dream you are a millionaire on Christmas night you will be a tramp.
