2. If the dead person has
got a smile on his/her
face, s/he's taking
someone with him/her!
Somebody else is going
to die, somebody s/he
knew!

3. When the dead
person is taken
outside his/her
house, we break a
dish to avoid bad
instances in the
same house!

4. When the dead person is in
the house, all glass surfaces
have to be covered with a
piece of cloth. The dead
person's face must not be
reflected on anything! If it
does, somebody in the
family is going to die!

5. If you go to a funeral, you must taste
everything they serve. Bad luck will
be on you if you don't!

6. During the
funeral, you must
spit your breasts if
you don't want to
die, or lose
someone in your
family soon!

7. If people carry a
dead person
outside your
house, close the
door, or death
will visit your
house, too!
