   (continued from previous page)

   When the clouds hang high it's the sign of rain.
   When the birds hover around and would not fly off.
   When fowl flock in a corner and pick themselves.
   When sheep or cattle turns their backs to the wall.
   If the sun rises red in the morniing it's the sign of rain.
