- (continued from previous page)coming the sheep on the mountains move upwards. When storm is coming they move down into the valleys.
When foul weather is coming the crane flies inland to rivers and fields and lakes, and when fine weather is coming she flies down to the sea. When rain is coming the raven screeches loudly. The robin signs in a low bramble of a tree. The swallows fly low to the ground. The crows alight and lie on the fences. The golden plover comes from the mountains down to the low-lands. The ducks and peacocks screech loudly.
When foul weather is coming the crickets chirp sharply. The flying ant creeps in the road and on the fences. The flies disturb the cattle and the people.
