What does it mean to be born on Saturday? Here's a traditional English nursery rhyme that predicts your life based on the day of the week you were born:

• Monday's child is fair of face [pretty or handsome]
• Tuesday's child is full of grace [moves well; may be a good dancer]
• Wednesday's child is full of woe [sad; many troubles]
• Thursday's child has far to go [will travel; has many plans and projects]
• Friday's child is loving and giving
• Saturday's child works hard for its living
• But the child that is born on the Sabbath day [Sunday]
• Is bonny [pretty] and blithe [happy], and good and gay [very happy; no worries]

Note! The word gay used to be different from what it means today. When this poem was written, it meant happy and cheerful.
