Thirteenth Month The presence of this inter- calary moon sometimes works more or less havoc. The people plow and sow, cut their ice and lay in their winter's fuel, by the phases of the moon, but when an extra moon in the early part of the year throws their planting some thirty days late, awkward results are sometimes experienced at harvest time. Walking the Bridges. — At the time of this first full moon the people come out into the moonlight and celebrate the custom of walking across the bridge...s, in order that they may be spared disease of the legs or feet during the ensuing year. Bad Luck Images. — This is also the night for warding off ill fortune in still another manner, which is by the ceremonial transfer of any bad luck that may be hovering about before descending upon an individual, to a little straw image made in human shape. The man will place cash where the eyes should be on the image and then lay it out on the KOREA AND THE KOREANS 149 roadside. Some poor outcast whose luck is so bad that it cannot well be made worse, will take up the image to get the coin for a drink of wine, and thus the bad luck is transferred to him.
