  1. (continued from previous page)
    When distant hills look near.
    When the wild geese fly to the bogs.
    When ants creep on the roads and fly.
    When chairs and tables crack.
    A rainbow in the morning.
    When corns pain.
    When old sprains get sore.
    When seagulls fly near land.
    When old people's rheumatism pains.
    When the crow makes a lot of noise.
    When cats turn their back to the fire.
    When crows are tumbling about and roaring.
    When horses turn their backs to the wind.
    When crows flock on the grass before going to bed.
