    happened to the man but there is no record of him having suffered any punishment.
    1. When sparks fly out of the fire all of a sudden it is a sign that there is money being lost. If we spit on the sparks the money will be saved.
    2. Sometimes when a person mixes his tea there comes a little froth on top of it. This is a sign that there is money coming to that person.
    3. When a person has left home to go on a journey he should not turn back again. If he does he will have bad luck.
