    it is said that if a spider crawls on you coat it is a sign of you getting a new coat. It is unlucky to kill a spider for when the Jews were looking for Jesus the spider made a web and the Jews did not get him.

    "Thanks be to God. I have eaten my fill. But if I had more I would keep eating still. But for the times they are so bad. Thanks be to God for what I had." Some people say this prayer after meals.
