- (continued from previous page)It keeps diseases from the animals.
In olden times the people never wore boots any day of their life even up to the age of eighty.
The poor people would kill rabbits, hares and little animals like that and put the skins of them on their feet in the winter to save them from the snow and frost.
- It is very unlucky to kill a worm or cover it with clay. If you do so it is supposed that he will be in your grave when you die.
