   The swallow comes to us from a foreign country in the Spring and leaves us in the Winter. She builds her nests in the roofs of houses and lays four or five eggs. It is said "if a swallow walks on grass it will stick to it".
   Another bird that comes to us from a foreign country is the cuckoo. This bird never builds a nest, she lays her eggs in some other bird's nest. "If the cuckoo comes and sings on a bare thorn sell your cow and buy corn".
   An old rhyme says:-
   The bee, the bat, the butterfly
   The cuckoo and the swallow
   The corn-crake, the weather bleak
   And all the rest to follow
