    Sheep:-
    If a week-old lamb dies he is thrown up on the roof of an outhouse to keep away the disease from which he died. If a sheep drinks water often it is a sign of her early death.
    Donkey:-
    Every time a donkey brays a tinker dies. Donkey's milk cures whooping cough.
    Cat:-
    If a cat dies in the house it is a sign of bad luck.
