Number 17
I must confess that I am superstitious, I do not believe in everything but there are things and events for which I take precautions.

This is what I do and this is what as a child they told me it is necessary to do because the nuns bring bad luck if you meet them on your path. They bring bad luck, right?
Everyone believes in what they like, right?
