  1. Signs of Rain

    Share Share Post
    When we see a rainbow in the sky it is going to rain. When the cat sits with her back to the fire it is going to rain. When the soot falls down the chimney it is going to rain. When the cat washes her face it is going to rain. When the crickets sing loudly it is going to rain. When old people have pains it is going to rain.
