  1. If a swallow flies high, good weather will follow.
    It is an omen of good weather to see a swan flying.
    If the clouds grow dark rain is expected.
    When a swallow flies low we shall have bad weather.
    If the sun sparkles in the morning it is the sign of a bad day.
    When the curlew sing it is the sign of rain.
    When the crickets sing it is the sign of rain. When the wind blows from the North it shall snow.
