When soot falls down
When the frog changes his colour from yellow to black
When the cows are lying on the land and facing towards the west
When the sun rises red in the morning.Signs of fine weatherWhen the sun is red in the evening
When the crows are flying high

When the sea-gull flies about screaming.Signs of fine weather
If the rust rises from the road and stays still in the air.
When the bees fly away from their nests.
When the bat flies about the house.(continues on next page)
