Pisreoga (continued)

(continued from previous page)

It is not right to go into another house when coming from a funeral.
It is not right to let a chicken with a straw tied to its leg into a house fearing he would lose it and cause a funeral there.
Long ago the people used leave a few boiled potatoes on the hearth for the good people to come and have their supper.
Long ago the people used tie an asses shoe to the back door for luck.
