  1. If a dog eats grass it is a sign of rain. When a horse eats bushes it's a sign of storm. When an ass turns his back to a hedge it's a sign of storm. When you see a rainbow in the sky it's a sign of rain or showers.
    When a frog changes his colour it's a sign of rain also.
    If a cat turns her back to the fire or if there is a ring around the moon it's a sign of storm. If the sky gets dark it's the sign of a shower.
