When the river makes no noise, it is either dried up or much swollen, [244]

When the rooks are silent the swans begin to sing, [351]

When the root is worthless, so is the tree, [188]

When the sack is full it pricks up its ears, [178], [298]

When the shepherd strays, the sheep stray, [297]

When the Spaniard sings, he is either mad or has no money, [243]

When the spleen increases, the body diminishes, [243]

When the stomach is full the heart is glad, [297]

When the summer is winter, and the winter summer, it is a sorry year, [244]
