Week 32 - Secret
I was inspired by the nursery rhyme:
One for sorrow,
Two for joy,
Three for a girl,
Four for a boy,
Five for silver,
Six for gold,
Seven for a secret,
Never to be told.
Eight for a wish,
Nine for a kiss,
Ten for a bird,
You must not miss.
This rhyme was based on superstitions about magpies, but in areas of the world where magpies are not common, it is now also associated with crows, jackdaws and ravens.
