Better Safe than Sorry
For the sake of your children, do not build a new house where the old one once stood. Move in when the Moon is full. Light your first fire in the new home early in the morning. If the fire won’t burn, rainy days are coming. You will be rich if you eat every last crumb from the table. Do not sweep after someone, you will sweep their luck away. Do not sit on the threshold. Never bring water from the well after sunset. If you hear someone knocking in the middle of the night, on no account open the door. If your guests leave without sitting down, they will take your peace of mind with them.
