    Some people say it is not right to go to see a sick person on a Friday or on a Monday. They say it is not right to go to a wake in the night alone. If you broke a looking glass there would be seven years bad luck in the house. Some people say it is not right to leave a baby alone in the cradle for the fairies would come and take it away. When you would go in to a house people would say if they were churning that you should put your hand on the churn for fear you would take away the butter.
