The Art of War

孫子兵法-行軍篇第九 
眾樹動者,來也﹔
眾草多障者,疑也﹔
鳥起者,伏也﹔獸駭者,覆也﹔
塵高而銳者,車來也﹔
卑而廣者,徒來也﹔
散而條達者,樵採也﹔
少而往來者,營軍也。

The Art of War, Sun-Tzu
If birds start up, there are ambushers there.
If the animals are frightened, there are attackers there.
If dust rises high and sharp, vehicles are coming;
if it is low and wide, footsoldiers are coming.
Scattered wisps of smoke indicate woodcutters.
Relatively small amounts of dust coming and going indicate setting up camp.
