If the ducks are quacking loudly it is a sign of rain, and when the geese come to the farm-yard gate it is a sign of frost. When a cat scrapes a chair or any other object there is a storm ahead. When the sheep keep to the bottom of a hill it is a sign of rain. When dogs eat grass or drink water it is a sign of rain. When the hens travel far through the fields it is a sign of good weather.
