I’m a fisherman. I’m not good at it, but I
love it. You need a lot of luck when you
go fishing. That’s why all fishermen are
superstitious. Last Saturday was my lucky
day. Usually all the others catch more fish
than I do. I don’t 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 didn’t catch another single fish. 3
Woman I’m so tired. I didn’t sleep at all last night. Man Was there something wrong? Were you worrying about something?
Woman No, I don’t know why. Well, I do, but you’ll think I’m mad. Man I’m sure I won’t.
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 I’m sure that’s why I wasn’t able to sleep. Man
Well, I’ve never heard of that
superstition before. Who told you that?
