“When a frog come in, it is going to be wet.”
When a frog come in, it is going to be wet. When there is a ring around the moon,m it is a sign of wet weather. When there are little bubbles on the water, it is going to be wet. When the swallows fly low, it is going to be wet. When they fly high. it is going to be fine, When the cat sits with its back to the fire, there is going to be a storm. When all the cattle get in a heap, it is going to be wet. When the smoke from the chimney goes up straight, it is going to be fine and if it sweeps down to the ground it is going to be wet.Written by

“Paddy Wheeler, who lived around Walterstown, used to be fishing and the bobbies used to be out after him.”
Paddy Wheeler, who lived around Walterstown, used to be fishing and the bobbies used to be after him. This night he went down to Danestown Bridge and got under it. Two bobbies came along and Paddy heard one say "I don't think Paddy will come to-night". So they went home. Paddy never caught as many fish in his life as he did that night and he was never poor after that either. (6 December 1927).Writter by
