IF A RABBIT CROSSES ROAD IN FRONT OF YOU, YOU HAVE TO BREAK
STRING TO WARD OFF BAD LUCK, IF HE CROSSED TO LEFT. IF HE
CROSSED TO THE RIGHT, YOU TURN YOUR HAT AROUND UNTIL YOU GET
PASSED WHERE HE CROSSED. I'VE SEEN UNCLE BILLY DO THIS LOTS
OF TIMES. ANY KIND OF A STRING WOULD WORK--A THREAD OR ANYTHING.
