    3. Monday is (not) an unlucky day of the week, because when people are getting married on Monday they put it back until Tuesday. Wednesday is an unlucky day. Friday is a very lucky day. Saturday is not a lucky day, because if you are going saving the hay on a Saturday evening, and when you would be putting in the hay every cock is sure to be wet and bad. Sunday is a very lucky day.
