- (continued from previous page)Smoke is the sign of good weather when it goes up straight in the sky. Flies bring bad weather. When blue light is in the fire wet weather is coming. The dog eats grass when wet stormy weather is coming. When soot falls it is the sign of bad wet weather.
- If the cap fits you wear it.
The bird in your hand is worth two in the bush.
The rolling stone gathers no moss.
Eaten bread is soon forgotten.
You don't miss the water until the well runs dry.
Don't fling out the dirty water until the clean comes in.
The early bird catches the early worm.
Save the pennies and all the pounds will save themselves.
