   The Animals;

   The dog would eat grass if it was going to rain. The sheep and cattle would go to the shelter. The cat would sit with her back to the fire.

   Natural Features:

   If it was going to rain the mountains and hills would appear nearer. If we were going to have fine weather the mountains would appear far away.

   When the dust would rise off the road it would be a sing of rain. The sea would look black if it was going to rain. When the fog would get heavy it would rain.

   The Insects:

   The crickets would chirp if it was going to rain,
