- (continued from previous page)When a green blaze comes in the fire it's the sign of rain.
When the soot falls down
When corns ache
When old people get pains in their bones
When the ducks quack loudlyWhen theres a mist on the hillsWhen the cricket chirps loudlyWhen the swallows fly low.When the seagulls come in from the sea to the land its a sign of a storm.When there are a lot of midgets on a Summers evening it is a sign of rain.When the bells cant be heard clearly.When there is a sheen on the rocks.Whens the goats come down from the hills to the lowlands.When the hen gathers her chickens under her
To see the moon on its back is a sign of rain
When birds ruffle up their feathersWhen the wind is from the South.When the spiders from their cobwebs creepWhen the sun goes pale to bed.When the cat drinks water and when the dog eats grass.(continues on next page)
