6 Render the following extract into English, using the language of the episode.
Традиции, пришедшие из глубины истории, рождают довольно много предрассудков. Есть такое верование, что если вам перешел дорогу черный кот, ждите беды. Откуда же этот предрассудок взялся? Когда-то считалось, что коты (и кошки), особенно черные, прислуживают ведьмам. И когда мы видим черного кота, мы не можем с уверенностью определить обыкновенный это кот или ведьмин знакомец. Поэтому надежнее всего было убить животное. Этот предрассудок стоил жизни многим котам (и кошкам).
