SCISSORS.--If they fall and stick in the floor it means quarrels, illness, separation of lovers. SERPENT OR SNAKE.--If it crosses your path, means spiteful enemies, bad luck. Kill it and your luck will be reversed. SHOES.--The right shoe is the best one to put on first. SHOOTING STARS.--If you wish, while the star is still moving, your wish will come true. SINGING before breakfast, you'll cry before night. SPIDERS.--The little red spider is the money spider, and means good fortune coming to you. It must not be disturbed. Long-legged spiders are also forerunners of good fortune. TOWEL.--To wipe your hands on a towel at the same time with another, means you are to quarrel with him or her in the near future. WHEEL.--The wheel coming off any vehicle you are riding in means you are to inherit some fortune, a good omen. WASHING HANDS.--If you wash your hands in the water just used by another, a quarrel may be expected, unless you first make the sign of the cross over the water.
