  1. If a person sleeps late on May Eve he will die that month.
    If you stay out late on May Day you will get a fairy stroke.
    If you give milk to anyone on May day yours cows will go against you.
    Every fort opens May morning and all the fairies come out.
    If you pick flowers on May Eve you will die during the month.
