  1. (continued from previous page)
    When the clouds hang high it's the sign of rain.
    When the birds hover around and would not fly off.
    When fowl flock in a corner and pick themselves.
    When sheep or cattle turns their backs to the wall.
    If the sun rises red in the morniing it's the sign of rain.
