HOW DO YOU KNOW FOR SURE IF YOU ARE A
VICTIM OF THE EVIL EYE?

BOTTOM OF A SMALL BOWL. THEN ADD WATER
MIXED WITH OIL TO IT.
EXAMINE THE BOWL CAREFULLY. IF ANY GRAINS OF WHEAT
PASS THROUGH THE WATER AND OIL, THEN THERE IS
SOMEONE WHO IS ENVIOUS OF YOU.

RELIGIOUS LEGEND
LONG AGO, THERE WAS THIS LITTLE GIRL WHO ALWAYS WORE HER SCAPULAR.
THIS ONE DAY, SHE WAS WALKING HOME FROM SCHOOL; BUT, INSTEAD OF
RETURNING HOME SHE STOPPED TO PLAY WITH HER FRIENDS. ALL THE
OTHER CHILDREN WERE HIDING, WHILE SHE WAS CLIMBING UP THIS
VERY TALL TREE. SUDDENLY, SHE SLIPPED AND LOST HER BALANCE.
HOWEVER, SHE WAS SAVED BECAUSE HER SCAPULAR REMAINED FIXED AROUND
THE BRANCH OF THE TREE.
