  1. (continued from previous page)
    If the waters of a lake ripple it is a sign of rain.
    If a cat puts her paw to the back of her ear it is a sign of rain.
    If a crook gets damps it is a sign of rain.

  2. If farm animals have their back to a hedge.
    When you hear the curlews whistle.
    If the wall of a house is damp.
    When a cat scrapes a stick.
    If a dog bites its nails.
    If the sky is red in the morning.
    When a lot of crows cluster together.
    When flies are on a pond.
    When mist is on a mountain.
    When the wind blows from Ballinah.
