    Cows lie down before rain falls so as to keep a dry patch under them. But if they seem to be restless and refuse to lie we may be sure gales are ahead. When a donkey is heard braying it is said to be a sign of rain. Ducks show the approach of showery weather by leaving the water and wandering about the fields. Before rain, fowl shelter in their houses. It is said that rain is probable when geese fly.
