  1. (continued from previous page)
    A rainbow at night is the shepherd's delight, a rainbow in the morning is the shepherd's warning.
    When the sheep go in a cluster in the field it is the sign of rain.
    When the sheep scatter through the field it is the sign of good weather
    When the ducks quack loudly it is the sign of rain
    When midges hit your face, it is the sign of rain.
    When the cat washes its face, and puts his paw up over his head it is the sign of storm.
