    If the moon is on its back it is the sign of rain and if the sun goes down red it is the sign of fine weather. The rain bow is the sign to man that God will never drowened[?] the world again.
    When the wind comes from the South it is the sign of rain and when it comes from the North it is the sign of cold weather. When it comes from the East it is the sign of cold showers and when it comes from the West it is the sign of bad weather.
