  1. (continued from previous page)
    we are to have rain.
    When swallows fly high in the air it is a sign of good weather.
    When hens pick their feathers it is a sign of fine weather.
    When the crane flys towards the west it is a sign of wet weather.
    When blue is seen in the fire it is a sign of frost.
    When a dog eats grass we are going to have rain.
