KNIFE A knife as a gift from a lover means that the love will soon end.  A knife placed under the bed during childbirth will ease the pain of labor.  If a friend gives you a knife, you should give him a coin, or your friendship will soon be broken.  It will cause a quarrel if knives are crossed at the table.  It is bad luck to close a pocket knife unless you were the one who opened it.  Knife falls, gentleman calls; Fork falls, lady calls; Spoon falls, baby calls. KNITTING It's bad luck to leave a project unfinished. Don't knit a pair of socks for your boyfriend or he'll walk away from you.  If you knit one of your own hairs into a garment, it will bind the recipient to you.  Knitting for children you may have in the future, but before you are pregnant, is bad luck (it may prevent one from getting pregnant, or bring ill health to the baby).

FOR A LUCKY BRIDE

How superstitious are you? Would you sleep in a hotel room numbered 13? Would you be happy to sit for an important exam on Friday 13? Would it be important for you to have a ‘white wedding’? Have you ever said, ‘Touch wood’? Do you ever cross your fingers as a sign of good luck? If there were a ladder on the pavement, would you avoid walking under it? Do you believe that you praise someone too much, you might bring them bad luck? How would you feel if a black cat crossed your path just before you went in to take an important exam?

RESULTS: 25 pupils said “NO”. They don’t want to sleep in thirteenth room. 19 pupils said they would not be happy to sit for an important exam on Friday 13th?
