  1. Weather Lore
    When a dog eats grass it's a bad sign.
    When the birds go from the hills to the sea it is going to rain.
    It a cow keeps on roaring in the field it's going to rain. When the train is heard very plain it is going to rain. When it is going to rain the furniture breaks. It we see a rainbow it is going to rain. When the smoke goes straight up the chimney it is going to be food weather. If the hills seem near it is going to rain.
