- (continued from previous page)When the sky is red in the morning. When the curlew cries, the seagulls and the peacocks roar. The maggots crawl across the road and the pet goats and lambs go into the shed. The cat has its tail to the fire. These are the signs of fine weather:- When the sun sets red. The moon can be seen plainly, the smoke goes up straight and the birds fly high.It is going to freeze when a blue flame is seen in the fire. When it is going to snow the walls are white.
