  1. (continued from previous page)
    Signs of rain continued
    When the cows lie near the hedge
    When the leaves on the trees or hedges are showing backs
    Circles round the moon.
    farther the circle from the moon the nearer the storm.
    The South wind brings the most rain to us.
    When you see a black frog.
    When a play of fish comes to the shore it is going to rain
    When the leaves are blowing in our school doors.
    This is the south wind
