One more Tulu saying for rainy season

                                          ಮಳೆಗಾಲದ ತುಳು ಹೇಳಿಕೆಗಳು 

Barsa barande kappe bulpand

ಬರ್ಸ ಬರಂದೆ , ಕಪ್ಪೆ ಬುಲ್ಪಂದ್ 


Translation ----

Barsa = ಬರ್ಸ = rain
barande =   ಬರಂದೆ       = if not comes
kappe =  ಕಪ್ಪೆ   = frog
blpand =  ಬುಲ್ಪಂದ್   = won't croak



Summary ------


We know when it starts to rain , the frogs start croaking . We can conclude that croaking of frogs is the sign of beginning of rainy season.
This saying says the same.
The other meaning is , there are indications before some incidents happening . Yesterday itself I had read in newspaper that animals , birds and fishes can sense the outcome of an earthquake or tsunami. We can corelate this saying with that.
