Don't sell your fiddle to start farming. You will regret it.
If you are a girl at a dance, do not loosen the red golden bands you've tied your boyfriend with. He will run off if you do.
If your boyfriend was lost at sea and a young sailor approaches you and asks you to marry him, refuse him. He will probably turn out to be your old boyfriend, after all, and then he will be impressed by your faithfulness.
If you come to a town where people are commiting suicide on a grand scale because their suitors/daughters/uncles/mailmen commited suicide first, get out of town before you're caught up in it, too.
If you are a poor girl, don't save your coloured cap for your wedding, even if you got it from your mother. You will probably never marry anyway.
But even if you are poor, marrying people who live inside a mountain is never a good idea.
If your mother tells you that she saw your wife with one of the people who live inside the mountain, kill your wife. Don't worry if she is innocent, she will plead for your soul in heaven if she is. You will go to heaven (although your mother won't)
If you are a pretty girl, you shouldn't marry anyone unless he's good for at least 500 riksdaler.
If you are out on the sea to fish coalfish, and your annoying neighbour appears, grab your chance, take your oar and knock him into the sea.
If you've watched your favourite sheep carefully for 15 years, don't let her go off on her own. The wolf will eat her.
It's a good idea to shoot huge crows before they kill you.
If you are a knight and a fairy wants to dance with you, it might be best to say yes, even if your fiancee is waiting. If you refuse her, she will curse you, you will die, and you fiancee will die of a broken heart.
Don't boast too much that you'd rather have your boyfriend than the king. The king might be jealous, come to slay your boyfriend, and then you'd be obliged to avenge him.
If a dragon wants to marry you and threatens to kill you if you don't, marry him. You're too young to die, and anyway he's probably just an english prince who has been cursed.
