For example, someone who sings while eating can be considered
stupid, they have no respect as the food is grace from God. A girl
who sings while facing the stove will marry a widower. The coffin
of a dead person must be made to exactly fit him. If there's extra
space at the head or feet, it is calling someone else to die next.
