    (continued from previous page)
    If chairs and tables creak,
    If old people's bones get stiff and become painful,
    If there is a fog around the moon,
    If there are rays around the sun before it sets,
    If stars fall,
    If after a heavy rainfall floods dry up quickly, another big rainfall is expected to follow,
    The south-west wind is supposed to bring us more rain here.
