  1. Birthdays : -
    Monday's child is fair of face,
    Tuesday's child is full of grace,
    Wednesday's child is loving and giving,
    Thursday's child has to work for a living,
    Friday's child is full of woe,
    Saturday's child is bright and bonny good and gay.
    Tuesday is the luckiest day in the week, as it is called St. Anne's day.
    Friday is the luckiest day to change to a new house, or to go to a new situation.
    It is also a lucky day to put down eggs for hatching.
    Wednesday is the luckiest day to make a cure for animals.
    If you cut your nails on Friday you will have bad luck during the week.
    If a boy cuts his hair on a Friday he will not catch a cold.
