    (continued from previous page)
    When the train is heard clearly it is a sign that the weather we have will continue. When a lot of flies are to be seen creeping along the road.
    When a frog changes his coat from yellow to a russet brown.
    When the smoke blows down the chimney and fills the house with smoke.
    When there is a blue blaze in the fire.
    When stone walls get damp or flagged floors get damp.
    When the dearg daol crosses the road.
    When the ducks make for the water.
