   Twenty white cows tied in a stall,
   The red one comes up and she licks them all.
   One's teeth and tongue.
   The more you take out of it the larger it gets?
   A grave.

   The people in our townland say that we may expect fine weather when the Atlantic is heard from the north, that is from the Quilty direction, but that we may expect bad weather when it is heard from the west, that is from the Kilkee side. They say when the sun goes down in a ball of fire that the weather will be fine, but if it is glaring the weather will be bad. If the moon is nice and clear at night the weather will be fine, but if there is a wide bow around it we may expect bad weather. If the bow is narrow it is the sign of good weather.
