MAGPIES
ONE FOR SORROW.
TWO FOR JOY.
THREE FOR A GIRL.
FOUR FOR A BOY.
FIVE FOR SILVER.
SIX FOR GOLD
SEVEN IS A SECRET NEVER TO BE TOLD
The Magpie chant is a couple of hundred years old and is known through out the British Isles by children to-day.
The last line. SEVEN IS A SECRET NEVER TO BE TOLD. I shall leave you to ponder its meaning in my story.
