  1. (continued from previous page)
    sky to make a sailor's jacket, it is a sign of fine weather.
    To see sparks on the bottom of a pot is also a sign of good weather.
    To hear wild geese is a sign of a storm.
    If fine weather comes with the new moon we will have fine weather for the month.
    More signs of fine weather are
    if the floor is dry,
    if a lump of salt is hard to be broken,
    if the fire is easy to be lit.
