    If the smoke goes up straight in the sky it is a sign of frost.
    If people's corn's are sore it will rain.
    It is a great sign of rain to see the hens nesting in the clay.

    There once lived Drumfin a famous violinist, who, when dancing would play his violin behind his back. He taught many people to dance well and while he was in Drumfin his hall was always filled with pupils.
    Jimmy Morrison was a great violin player who lived in Drumfin years ago. When playing his violin he could also play the bag pipes and sing at the same time. When doing this he could also march.
