Does this sound OK in English?

Hi, dear experts. Could you tell if the following is comprehensible? Is it good English?

"The future is foretold by the sparks from the fire. The more sparks there are, and the bigger and brighter the sparks, the richer the harvest, the milkier the cows, and the more fattened the cattle will be. "

"The future is foretold by the sparks from the fire. The more sparks there are, and the bigger and brighter the sparks, the richer the harvest,

milkier : good guess! One might predict that from other examples in English. However, what that means is: Cadbury's make milk chocolate bars, but Nestles are milkier. Hence, if we eat these cows...
There may be some technical term for it, to do with lactation, but I think it's simpler to say:

the more milk from cows, and the more fattened the cattle will be. "

Thank you very much, David. Words fail me to express my gratitude!

 

[David L.]

You don't fool me! I've been reading your account of the Bulgarian character.
You just feel obliged to shower me with gratitude and express huge heaps of appreciation because I helped, just as if I had given you a gift!

I have been studing English for a very long time, but I haven't been abroad, and I havent spoken to real English. Moreover, I can't find everything I need in my grammar books, so I do appreciate your comments.

I thought I'd put in enough yellow icons...
Perhaps my sense of humour, like many wines, does not travel well.

It sounds okay to me, Snade.

Does the following sentence sound OK in English:
"Be sure, your sense of humour always travels well with me."

 

[David L.]

"Be reassured, your sense of humour always travels well with me."

sure : =confident in what I think or know; having no doubt that I am right

reassure : =say or do something to remove the doubts and fears of someone
(which is what you did for me)!.

Thanks
