Im a fisherman. Im not good at it, but I
love it. You need a lot of luck when you
go fishing. Thats why all fishermen are
superstitious. Last Saturday was my lucky
day. Usually all the others catch more fish
than I do. I dont really mind. But that
day, I was doing really well, catching lots
of fish. I just knew I had more that anyone
else. So I stopped to see how many I had.
Seven fish. It was a big mistake. My luck
changed completely. After that, I didnt
catch another single fish.

Woman No, I dont know why. Well, I do,
but youll think Im mad.
Man Im sure I wont.
Woman Well, I was making the bed
yesterday when my friend
phoned to ask if I wanted to go
shopping with her. So I put on
my hat and went out. I finished
making the bed when I came
home. So Im sure thats why I
wasnt able to sleep.
Man Well, Ive never heard of that
superstition before. Who told you
that?
