    it is going to be fine. When the goat's come down from the mountain, there is going to be snow.
    When the sea-gulls fly inland, there is going to be a storm at sea. When the crane flies up the river it is going to be fine and when he flies down it is going to rain. When the soot falls down the chimney, it is going to rain.
    When the salt drips off of home-cured bacon which hangs from the ceiling, it is going to rain.
    When the flags are damp and slippy it is going to rain, also when the peacock cries loudly and continually rain and wind are coming.
    When dogs graze bad weather is coming.
