- (continued from previous page)clouds gather on the horizon when there is a rainbow in the morning; when the wind is in the southwest; when the swallows fly low and when the crows are diving and play (play) tricks up high in the air when the sheep are jumping in the fields.
It is the sign of a storm when the seagulls fly inland; when the dog eats grass; when the cat is washing her face and when she is sitting with her back to the fire.
