    II
    When the sheep and cattle keep close to the hedge it is a sign of bad weather. If the sun goes down red in the evening it is a token of Good Weather.
    If the cricket is heard singing rain is expected.
    If the walls get damp it is a sign of rain.
    If a Spider is seen creeping from his cobweb that it is a sure sign of rain.
