- Swallows fly low. Old people sleep at the fire side. Dogs eat grass. Old people complain with pains in their bones. Horses turn their tails to the wall. People complain of their corns. The curlew give a shrill cry.
Frost: A lot of stars in the sky in the night. Red sky in the evening. Wild geese fly towards the north. A fog at night.
Fine Weather: Blue skies. High cloud in the morning. Swallows fly high. When the mountains are clear. The cocks crow at sunrise.
Wind: When the clouds go fast. Pigs are restless. Seagulls come into the country. Storm in the sea.
