- When the rainbow is seen around the sun it is a sign of bad weather.
When we see Mount Callan without mist it is a sign of good weather.
When all of Mount Callan is covered with mist it is a sign that we are near rain.
When we see the swallows up very high in the air it is a sign of good weather and when we see them low we are near rain.Ten men's length, ten men's strength and one man could carry it in his hand? A rope.
What part of an animal goes over a ditch first? Her breath.
Why does a cow look over a ditch? Because she cannot look under it. - Collector
