- (continued from previous page)it is the sign of rain.
When you have a fine bright fire it is the sign of rain
If the hills seem very far away and rown it is the sign of rain
If the hills seem very near and blue it is the sign of rain
When the roads are very dusty it is the sign of rain
When a dog eats grass it is the sign of rain
If the soot falls down it is the sign of rain
If the clouds are not stirring it is the sign of thunder
If you hear the train very loud it is the sign of rain.
