Many lucky charms come with a story. In German-speaking countries, owning a pig once meant your family had plenty to eat, so the pig became a symbol of wealth, and people still say βSchwein gehabtβ (βgot a pigβ) when they mean βthat was lucky.β Four-leaf clovers are rare, so finding one feels like real luck. Horseshoes, ladybugs, and chimney sweeps have been good-luck symbols for a long time, and some people say touching a chimney sweep brings luck.
