    you our king and queen. The next moment I was brought to the room in which the King lived. I forget to bow to the king and one of the fairies threw jug of water in to my face. I ran out as fast as I could and the fairies followed me. I did not know what to do. I put my hand to my mouth and started to crow like a cock and I got away from them.
    Bad Luck
    If you pluck a branch off a lone bush you will have very bad luck.
