    round the sun indicates worse weather
    than one round the moon.
    then we have the simpler weather sign
    used by the people of the present day.
    The cat clawing or scraping at articles
    made of wood, shows that we are going
    to have rain. Another sign of rain is the curlew crying at night. When lambs
    frolic madly, kicking out sideways,
    shepherds say it is a sign of rain, and
    when sheep grow frisky and butt at each other, at storm is at hand.
