    “There is an acre there...”

    I will plough from morning until night
    With horses pair I do declare and a plough that is alright
    A sod nine inches I will take each time I go up and down
    And if you answer this correct I will give you half a crown -

    1. Before a storm the stars are dancing and glittering in the sky or often a thunderstorm follows.
    2. Rain - Before a heavy rainfall the birds are seen flying extremely low, almost touching the earth. Before rain the dog gets sleepy and sick and eats grass. The hills apparently draw near
    The sea gets rough and wild
    All the winged insects are busy flying and buzzing about.
    The smoke ascend directly from chimney to the clouds.
