Stanley and his father blame a family curse for their bad luck. This curse originated from an ancestor who stole a pig and was subsequently cursed by a gypsy. They believe this misfortune has been passed down through generations, affecting their lives and causing a series of unfortunate events. As a result, they feel trapped in a cycle of bad luck that they attribute to this ancestral curse.
