  1. Weatherlore
    Signs of rain
    We expect rain when:-
    a dog cats grass
    a hen sits with her head
    under her wing
    a cat washes her face
    a cricket sings sharply.
    Signs of storm.
    We expect storm when:-
    The wind blowing from the north.
    Signs of good weather,
    We expect good weather when:-
    The doors and the windows
    become damp
    There is a rainbow at night,
    There is no cap on Benbo
    Th sky is red in the west
    Benbo appears far away
