Pisreoga  [duchas:4345786]

It is not right to throw milk in the river the fishes would die.

If you go in one door it is right to come out the same door.

When you put down a pot of potatoes and when they are boiled if you find a white stone in the pot[?] it is a cure for the toothache.

If you break a mirror you will have bad luck for seven years.

It is not right to steal a pin if you do you will steal a big thing.
