    I. Good: -
    The clouds appear to be far off.
    The wind blowing from the south.
    II. Bad: -
    The cat scraping the timber.
    The sky appears to be low.
    The wind whistles through the keyhole.
    The floor gets damp.
    The starlings come near the house.
    A ring around the moon, called a halo.
    The ants are out in the evening.
    The ducks quack loudly.
    The seagulls fly inland.
    Black snails on the road.
