BAD LUCK
WHEN A PERSON LEAVES THE HOUSE AND THEN NOTICES HE FORGOT SOMETHING,
HE GOES BACK INTO THE HOUSE AND AFTER LOCATING IT HE
SITS DOWN MOMENTARILY
BEFORE LEAVING THE HOUSE AGAIN. IF THE PERSON FAILS TO DO
THIS HE WILL HAVE BAD LUCK.
Submitter comment:
INFORMANT'S GRANDMOTHER TOLD HER THIS AND INFORMANT HOLDS IT TO BE
TRUE.
