    (continued from previous page)
    When soot falls down the chimney.
    When the sun is very red rising in the morning. We call this "The Dublin Red" and it is a sure sign of rain.
    When the cat sits with her back to the fire.
    When swallows fly near the ground.
    A rainbow in the morning.
    When there is a drop of water out of the leaf of a lily.
    To see the Willwagtails running round the roads.
    To hear the curlews crying.
