  1. (continued from previous page)
    The west
    When the wind blows from the west.
    The hens running into the field.
    When the hills around are high and clear.
    When it is threatening to rain and the sun passes the wind.
    When there are not many stars visible at night
    When the cows are scattered round the field.
    A rainbow at night
    When the moon is bright in the sky.
