Summary

Information about superstition.

It was very bad luck to meet anyone when you first started a job, e.g. ploughing, planting, etc. An old man met someone the day he started ploughing. The man praised his field and plough etc. The only way to overcome this bad luck was to criticise these more than the strangers had praised them. He did so in verse.
