    If the new moon lies ion its back it is a sign of rain.
    If the clouds are black in the morning we will have a wet day.
    If the sky is red in the evening it will be good the next day.
    If the stars are twinkling in the sky at night we will have rain the next day.
    If a cat sits with her back to the fire it is a sign of storm.
    We we see swallows flying low we will have rain.
    When a donkey roars we will have rain.
    When the sheep lies late in the morning it is the sign of a dry day.
