    morning. If it is going to rain sea-gulls are to be heard screaming in the sky. Ducks always quack when it is going to rain. A rainbow at night is a sign of good weather and a rainbow in the morning is a sign of bad weather. If images are seen in the fire it is going to rain. If the stars in the sky are twinkling at night it is going to be frosty. If big fishes come in near the shore a storm is coming. If slugs are seen on the roadway it is going to rain.
