This text is dedicated superstitions and the friendship between Slovenian and Slovak peoples.

One afternoon I was preparing for a celebration. I wanted to see if I looked good, so I took my mirror. Then I went to put it back on the table. When I was leaving the house, I remembered that I didn't have a gift, so I went back for it. I was really stressed because I was late so.

so I snagged my coat in the mirror  and it fell down. It was broken. I just stood and looked at it. I almost forgot to take my present. A few days later it happened.  I was hurrying from school to catch the bus but I missed it. I had to walk home. On my way home I saw my boyfriend kissing the girl I know very well. I was completely broken. The next day I splitted up with him. Was it the mirror which brought me bad luck?

Just a few bad coincidences

When I was younger I was very superstitious. For example, whenever I saw a chimney sweeper I would always touch a button. One day I was getting ready for school. I was already late and it started raining. I searched around the whole house but I couldn't find an umbrella. When I asked my mom where it was, she said it was in my room. When I found it I ran downstairs because I was in a hurry. Without thinking I opened the umbrella indoors. I was stressed because I had an important exam in school.

The Maths exam started and I was very nervous. I had most of them but I still couldn't solve some of the tasks. I quietly asked my neighbour for help but the teacher noticed it and blamed me for cheating on her. I failed the test. At home I had to explain to my parents the note from the maths teacher. In addition, I got wet because I had forgotten my umbrella at school.

I would rather take my raincoat next time

One dark night when two people in love, Maggie and Scoot were walking around a cemetery after watching a horror film. Suddenly they heard something usual, a rooster crowing. Nothing special, but then they thought about it -“rooster crowing in the middle of the night” . It's a little bit weird, but they didn't care and walked away. The next morning they had breakfast and they started their ordinary day. When they started working, they heard the news on their  local  radio: “Yesterday - Friday 13

Yesterday, Friday the 13th, some people  burgled a few graves in a local cemetery, stole precious things and damaged the graves. Maggie and Scot were lucky they hadn't  seen these burglars because they could attack and hurt them. Scot hasn't thought about this accident but Maggie often gets frozen when they walk along this place.

Forecast of the rooster

Thomas - the savior

In the charming village of Ravenshire, between rolling hills and ancient oaks, a peculiar superstition cast a shadow on the humble chimney sweepers who always worked hard to keep the fireplaces of the villagers clean. It was said that crossing paths with a chimney sweeper on a foggy morning brought either incredible luck or impending doom.

One misty day, as the sun struggled to pierce through the thick fog, young Thomas, the village chimney sweep, began his routine. Armed with a long brush, he climbed rooftops and disappeared into the labyrinth of chimneys.

As he was jumping from roof to roof he noticed two young boys playing at the top of the roof. It was very dangerous because it was high and the roof was wet. He ran to warn them. As he was walking towards them one of the boys slipped and he almost fell down but thanks to brave Thomas, the boy stayed alive. People who watched this accident were very grateful to Thomas. Since then the chimney sweeper  has been a symbol of good luck.

A horseshoe brought me luck

There is a farm near my house. Horses walk around every day which makes me happy because I like horses. One day I went to work in the morning and found a horseshoe. I was very happy and I hung it on the wall in my garage. I was waiting to see what would happen but nothing changed. But a month late

 I got a letter from my uncle in Canada. I hadn't  heard anything about him for a long time! I was very curious so I opened the letter quickly. It was an invitation to Canada. What a surprise! I have always wanted to visit this beautiful country and now I have a chance to go there. I didn't hesitate and replied to my uncle´s letter. So finally the horseshoe brought me luck!

A lucky charm

.One day, when I was seven years old, me and my sister were playing. We were running around the house. It was really funny. When suddenly my sister barged into the mirror. I screamed really loudly. When my mother heard it, she ran to us…

Fortunately nothing happened to her that day. But two weeks later when we went skating, my sister fell and broke her hand very badly. She went to the hospital for an X- ray and she was given a bandage. But that wasn´t enough. She lost her favourite lucky charm, her four-leaf clover,while she was going back from hospital. She was very unhappy because it was a present from our grandma. She got the new one on her next birthday but it wasn´t the same lucky charm.
