    Superstitions
    1. To meet a red-haired person in
    the morning means bad luck for
    the rest of the day.
    2. To see one magpie is a bad omen.
    "One for sorrow,
    Two for joy,
    Three for a wedding,
    Four for a boy.
    Five for silver, six for gold."
    3. Marry on Monday, marry for
    health,
    Tuesday for wealth,
    Wednesday the best day of all,
    Thursday for losses,
    Friday for crosses,
    Saturday no day at all.
