- Signs of Rain :-
When the cat sits with its back to the fire.
When the cat scathes the legs of the table.
When dogs eat grass.
When the sea-gulls come inland.
When a dog lies with his head to the ground.
When the field is white with frost and the grass is white and stiff
When sheep gather up togeather in a cluster
To see rats and hedgehogs plenty.
To see a rainbow early in the morning.
When we have a west wind.
When the frogs are plentiful at night.
When the smoke comes back down the chimney.
When the soot falls down the chimney.
When the sun is very hot.(continues on next page)
