		<description><![CDATA[It is unlucky to:

It&#8217;s bad luck to open an umbrella indoors.
Give or be given an umbrella
Leave your umbrella at home
Put an umbrella on the table
Have a black umbrella on board a ship

Dropping an umbrella on the floor means:
That there will be a murder in the house.
If it was done by a woman she will remain single.
