WHEN YOU AND A FRIEND ARE WALKING TOGETHER AND PASS ON EITHER
SIDE OF AN OBJECT, YOU ON ONE SIDE AND HE ON THE OTHER,
YOU SAY "BREAD AND BUTTER." HE FOLLOWS WITH "PINS AND
NEEDLES." YOU SAY "WHAT GOES UP THE CHIMNEY." HE
ANSWERS "SMOKE." YOU BOTH THEN SAY, "MAY THIS WISH
NEVER BE BROKEN." THIS GRANTS YOU ONE WISH AND INSURES
YOUR EVERLASTING FRIENDSHIP.
