    she cuts it up into bits and who ever gets the ring they say that he will get married soon.
    They get three plates and they put clay in one and ring in an other and water in another
    Then they blindfold someone and if he puts his hand in the plate where the ring is he will get married soon. Then if he puts his hand where the clay is he will die soon and if he put his hand where the water is he will have to go over the sea to some other country.
