- It is believed locally that fine weather is at hand -
When the swallows fly high in the sky.
When the smoke ascends straight up from the chimney.
When the clouds go up the mountain.
When the sky is red at sunset.

When there is a ring round the moon.
When the wild geese fly low.
When hills seem near.(continues on next page)
