    (continued from previous page)
    The people say when the sheep are going in shelter and also the woodcock that there will be bad weather. When the dog is eating grass the people say the weather will be bad. When the chimney is puffing there is going to be bad weather. When soot falls it is going to rain. When there are blue lights in the fire it is going to rain. When the cat has his back to the fire there is bad weather on it. When the door is whistling there will be bad weather.
