- Signs of rain.
The hollow winds begin to blow.
The clouds look dark.
The glass is low.
The soot falls down the chimney.
The dog sleeps.
The spiders from his cob-web creeps.
The sun going pale to bed.
The moon in halo hides her head.
The swallow flies low.
The cat sits in front of the hearth wiping her face.
The fish jumps out of the water to catch flies.
The flies bite the cattle.
The ducks quack loudly.
The distant hills appear near.
Old peoples' bones become sore.
The wind blows the dust of the road.
The yellow coat of the frog becomes brown.
The air gets cold and chill.
The dogs eat grass.
A rainbow spans the sky
The roaring of the sea can be heard.(continues on next page)
