- When the ducks quack loud, the peacocks cry, the distance hills are drawing nigh, it is the sign of rain.
When the crane makes a loud noise it is the sign of rain.
If you see a blue flame in the fire it is the sign of rain.
When it would be going to rain, the dog would be eating grass and drinking water.
If you see stars falling it is the sign of rain.
If you saw a heavy dark cloud in the sky
If smoke comes down the chimney
When corns on the feet give pain. - Transcription guide »You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
