A weasel crossing your path is most unlucky; it speaks of treachery. This evil omen may be counteracted by the performance of a very mean trick: drop a coin where you saw the weasel cross, and the evil which was yours by right, will cling to those who are unlucky enough to find it. If there is a tramp behind you, when you see a coin lying, leave it for him; he won’t mind about the ill-luck.
