IN THE CHONAN CEREMONY THE GOOSE, LIVE OR WOODEN IS WRAPPED IN A RED CLOTH. ONCE CARRIED INTO THE BRIDE'S ROOM IT IS PUT ON THE TABLE WHERE THE COUPLE SHARE THEIR NUPTIAL CUPS. IF LIVE SHOULD THE GOOSE CRY OUT DURING TRANSPORT OR, HEAVEN FORBID, ESCAPE IT COULD BRING TEARS TO THE BRIDE AS IT PORTENTS THAT THE FIRST CHILD WOULD BE A GIRL.
