  it spins threads of luck.
  Luck cat, luck cat,
  make for me three things:
  make for me a golden ring,
  to tell me that I am lucky;
  make for me a mirror
  to tell me that I am beautiful;
  make for me a fan
  to waft away my cumbersome thoughts.
  Luck cat, luck cat,
  spin for me some news of my future!
