It's a load of old rubbish of course but the magpie is supposed to be the only bird that didn't go into Noah's Ark.It just sat on top of the Ark swearing at him!!

i was trawling the net for answers to the same question so i decided to share what i found.. perhaps this'll clear things up :)
i've found 3 versions, as follows;
One for sorrow, Two for mirth,
Three for a wedding, Four for a birth.
Five for rich, Six for poor,
Seven for a witch -- I can tell you no more.
One for sorrow, Two for joy
Three for a girl, Four for a boy
Five for silver, Six for gold
Seven for a secret never to be told.
Eight's a wish and Nine a kiss,
Ten's a bird you must not miss.
One's sorrow, two's mirth,
Three's a wedding, four's a birth,
Five's a christening, six a death,
Seven's heaven, eight is hell,
And nine's the devil his old self.
peace
