  1. On Halloween Night every house has its own sport. Here is a great game; these are three saucers put on a table; a ring is put in one, clay in another, and water in another. Then you're blindfolded and brought over to the table. If you put your hand in the clay it is said you will die within the year, if you put your hand in the water you will go over the sea, and if you put your hand on the ring, you will be married.
