    A great sign of rain is when the mountains appear near.
    The swallows fly low.
    The wind geese leave the sea and fly towards the north for stormy weather.
    Evening grey and morning red is the sign of a very bad day.
    The swallows fly high.
    The ducks are very quiet.
    When two cats are fighting on the stairs it is said that a storm is to come.
    Morning grey and evening red is a sure sign of a good day.
