Having Good and Bad Luck 


Cesar: I can’t catch a break. Everything seems to be going wrong these days. 


Olga: Maybe your streak 1 of bad luck is because you did something unlucky. 


Cesar: What do you mean? 


Olga: Have you walked under a ladder or crossed paths with a black cat lately? 


Cesar: I don’t think so, but I’m not superstitious 2. I don’t believe breaking a mirror will bring me seven years of bad luck. 


Olga: Say what you will, but it doesn’t hurt to take some precautions, especially the way things have been going for you. 


Cesar: I don’t know... 


Olga: Here, you can borrow my rabbit’s foot and my four-leaf clover. I’ll go home to get you a horseshoe so you can hang it upside down over your front door. 


Cesar: I really doubt any of that is going to do me any good. 


Olga: You know what tomorrow is, don’t you? 


Cesar: The thirteenth? 


Olga: Friday the thirteenth. Do you really want to take your chances? 


Cesar: I guess not. Do you really think these good luck charms will help? 


Olga: We’ll know on the fourteenth, won’t we?
