    I. Good: -
    The sky quite clear, that is you can see the real sky, blue, without any cloud.
    II. Bad: -
    Black snails on the road.
    The cat turns his back to the fire.
    The Ass turns his back to the ditch.
    The soot falls down.
    Far off hills appear near.
    The Curlews coming inland.
