Days
Monday is lucky to get anything but it is unlucky to pay anything. There are some people who would not exchange anything on Saturday. Friday is a lucky day to move to a house but Saturday is unlucky to move. The first three days of April are called the borrowed days.
       Told to Philomena Gaynor
        By her mother K. Gaynor
