- Signs of the Weather
The following are the signs of rain
1 the frog changes its colour
2 the cat turns its back to the fire
3 when the dog eats grass
4 when distant hills are looking
nigh
5 when the wind comes from the west
6 when the ducks quack more than usual
7 when the animals turn their backs to the wind
8 when the salt gets soft and damp
9 when the sea gulls lie in the land
10 when the spider creeps from its web
11 when the soot falls from the chimney
