When the clouds are racing by the moon in good weather it is the sign of broken weather. the rainbow is a sign from god that he will be not drown the world again.
- In the year 1822 AD there was a big storm in Ireland. Many houses were blown down and many others were wrecked. There was one house and a poor widow lived in it. She had no one but herself in the house. It was a thatched house and there was not as much as a straw taken from it. Some of the houses that were in the fields had trees growing around them, and the trees fell on them and wrecked them.
- Candles were made out of rushes long ago. Baskets were made out of waffles weaved in and out together. The people who used theses baskets were poor.
