- When the old folk are troubled with pains they say "We are going to have rain".
The dog and cat also tell us the signs of rain, the dog by sleeping soudly the cat by sitting with his back to the fire. If pussy scratches briskly with her nails we are going to have a wind storm the pigs are also restless when wind storm is approaching.
