  2. Weather-Lore

    My father told me it is a bad sign to see red clouds early in the morning. The wind from the south brings rain to our district. It is the sign of rain to see the wagtail hopping about the door. If the rocks seem near us it is the sign of rain, it is the sign of good weather when mountains cannot be seen. It is a good sign to see all the sheep lying together early in the morning.
