  1. 1. Signs of weather. Red clouds in the West at sunset predict fine weather. Yellow clouds in the West at sunset predict bad weather. A circle around the moon predict wet weather. A rainbow in the morning is the sheperd's warning, and a rainbow in the night is the sheperd's delight.
    2. The wind in certain points. The wind from the East denotes wet weather. The wind from the South denotes a storm.

  2. Once upon a time there was a travelling man who was allways boasting of how quick he could walk. One day he was telling them one of his great stories about walking at the Cross of Shronell, so a servant boy by the name of O'Grady. And he said he would challenge him for ten shillings aside.
