    swallows flying low of the dog eating grass or the cat drinking water it is the sign of rain. When a hen comes into a house with a wisp stuck in her feathers and if she looses it in the house someone out of that house is going to die. when you would see a rainbow in the sky over a house someone out of that house will die soon. If you were at a funeral and to trip over a grave you would soon die.
