  1. Composition - Signs of Rain

    Share Share Post
    When anyone has a corn on their toe and it is very sore that is a sign of rain. When a donkey brays loudly that is a sign of rain. When the soot falls down off the walls that is another sign of rain.
    When the sun is too hot in the morning there will be rain before night.
