“A red sky at night...”
1. A red sky at night is the shepherd's delight.
2. A red sky in the morning is always his warning.
3. When the glow-worm lights her lamp, then the air is always damp.
4. When the peacock loudly brawls, then we will have both rain and squalls.
5. When the moon shows like a silver shield, be not afraid to reap your field.

- There was a woman who used to draw water from a neighbour's well on May morning, and she was strongly suspected by doing so of having the art of carrying the produce of that man's cows. She always went by the name of May morning.
