    If you see a crow on a house some one will die in that house.
    |If you see one magpie you will have bad luck.
    If you are going any where and turn back you will have bad luck.
    If you go under a ladder or a plank you will never grow any more.
    If you carry a fork a spade or shovel into a kitchen on your shoulder you will have bad luck.
    If you don't throw a tooth which falls out of your head across your shoulder no more teeth will come up in the old tooth's place.
