    (continued from previous page)
    I play a game with three plates I put clay on one and water on an other and a ring on the third. Then I get a dollóg and put it on my brothers eyes and if he puts his hand into the water he will cross the sea and if he puts his hand on the ring he will get married and if he puts his hand in the clay he will be buried before the year is out, And at Hallow Eve the people get heads of cabbage and peg them at the doors of the houses and tie them on the doors.
