    Superstitions

    1- Read the article about the origin of the superstition and write True or False. Justify the false
    answers.

    "A black cat crossing your path is lucky/unlucky."


    Many cultures agree that black cats are powerful omens but do they signify good or evil?

    The ancient Egyptians loved all cats, and it was there that the belief began that a black cat crossing
    your path brings good luck. This positive reputation was different in Europe in the early seventeenth
    century in England. King Charles I had a black cat as a pet. When the cat died, King Charles lamented
    that his luck was gone. The day after the cat’s death he was arrested and charged with high treason.
    During the Middle Ages, in many other parts of Europe people thought black cats were the
    "familiars," or companions, of witches, or even witches themselves in disguise, and that a black cat
    crossing your path was an indication of bad luck, a sign that the devil was watching you. This was a
    strong belief held by the Pilgrims when they came to America, perhaps explaining the strong association
    between black cats and witchcraft that exists in the country to this day.
