Many many moons ago, back in Mongolia, there lived 7 little bunnies. They ran around through neighborhoods and which ever yard they ate grass in, the entire family had good luck for the rest of their days.

Maybe they were lucky because they were the only male rabbits and there were hundreds of females! LOL

Well, you see, there wasn't enough grass, so they took rabbits feet from all of the other rabbits (they called them lucky rabbit's feet), but they didn't know that the 7 ramaining rabbits were really the lucky ones. Because the other rabbits couldn't really get around Mongolia with only 3 feet and they perished.

But some of them managed to make it into the stew pot.
