    Share Share Post
    If a crow flies very high it is said the weather will be fine, and if it flies low and turns over it will be wet.
    If a crane flies up a river it will be fine and if it flies down it will be wet.
    If a swallow tips the water when it is flying it will be wet and if it flies high it will be fine.
