- Good Weather
When the sun goes down red.
The swallow fly high.
If the sky looks blue.
When the trainroars loudly.
When the birds sing merrily.
When the ants have wings.
If the smoke ascends into the air in a straight line from the chimney.
A red sky is the sign of stormy weather.
When the mountains seem far away.
When the goats are high on the hills.
When the gnats are out.
When the clouds resemble goat-hairs.
