  1. Where you see crows lying on a wall it is the sign of rain.
    When the smoke goes up straight in the sky it is the sign of rain.
    When there is a ring round the moon it is the sign of bad weather.
    The cricket sings loudly when it is going to rain.
    When the rocks shine it is a sign of rain.
    When it is cold it is the sign of rain.
