3rd Time Lucky

There is an old saying that goes, third time's the charm, or third time lucky. It is supposed to mean that after attempting something twice, the third time will meet success. Where does that come from? In England, there is a law that anyone who survives hanging three times is set free. Yikes!  Could it be connected to try, try, try again?  There are numerous mentions and connections to 3 in the Bible. Numerology suggests the number 3 is connected to optimism, which leads the knifemaker's aunt to be hopeful for the next forging episode. Now that she's been in the shop for almost two weeks, she has observed people using the force of hammering to get the job done.

Next time the forge is on and the hammer is in her hand, it'll be 3rd time lucky for the knifemaker's aunt!
