OMEN

IF YOU SEE A BULL FROG,
IT'S A WITCH BRINGING A CURSE.
YOU SHOULD PUT THE FROG ON A BOARD(FULCRUM)
AND HIT IT INTO THE AIR, SENDING THE CURSE AWAY.

Submitter comment: THE INFORMANT GOT THIS FROM HER MOTHER
WHEN THE INFORMANT WAS A CHILD.
SHE SAID SHE NEVER DID THE ACTION DESCRIBED
BECAUSE SHE WAS TOO AFRAID OF THE FROG TO PICK
IT UP. SHE JUST RAN AWAY.
