    went about barefooted and the thought it hard to wear boots on Sunday. Some of them carried their boots in their hands until they reached the chapel and then they put them on until they were coming home.
    People say that when you wash your feet at night you should not throw out the water or if you do, you will get up in your sleep and walk about the house till morning. Some people throw out the water on the street and nothing happens to them.
