  1. (continued from previous page)
    Before rain also the cricket sings loudly, the cat turns his tail to the fire, the dogs eat grass and the colour of the frog changes from yellow to dark brown.
    If the turkeys come into the farm-yard early in the evening it is also a sign of rain.
    When the weather is going to change old people get pains in their bones.
    Before bad weather the sheep come down to the lowlands.
    Midges fly low before rain.
