  1. Signs of rain
    When the cat sits with her tail to the fire.
    The dog eating grass.
    The swallows flying low.
    The hens picking themselves.
    When the black snails creep out.
    The crows flying high.
    Signs of fine weather
    When the smoke rises straight up into the clouds from the chimney.
    When a fog rises from the water.
    When the sky is very starry.
