  1. Some days of the week are said to be lucky and more unlucky. For instance Saturday is said to be one of the unluckiest day of the week. If any person begins work on a Saturday it will never be finished correctly.
    Monday is a very lucky day. There is a rhyme of the days of the week such as : -
    "Monday for health,
    Tuesday for wealth,
    Wednesday the best of all,
    Thursday for crosses,
    Friday for losses,
    Saturday no luck at all."
    If we do work on Monday it will take no energy from us.
    If it is done on a Wednesday it will be finished neatly and correctly. All farmers do the best of their work on Wednesdays.
