    fine. The people say Red at night is the shepherd's delight but if the sun goes down in a cloud it is the sign of rain.
    When the rainbow spans it's many colours int he sky it is the sign that we are near rain or after rain.
    When the sheep think we are near rain they will run in under trees, and will not move till the rain is over.
