   in olden days all the old people on a May day always put up a pole of primroses and sagans and that pole was called a May pole, and they always thought it was lucky. From as far back as the old people can remember to this day they always put up that pole on the first day of May. They always said the cuckoo laid her egg in that nest and when she laid it she always took it away to some other nest belonging to some other bird and she hatched it there. All the people throw "sagans" at the door of every house to bring luck to every beast they have and to bring luck to themselves also, but no one can tell me why this is done at May day.
