  1. (continued from previous page)
    When the moon is lying on her back it is the sign of rain.
    When the stars are seen to run it is the sign of rain.
    If black clouds are seen in the sky during a sunny day people say there will be rain before night.
    If there is a red sunset it is the sign of a good day.
    The south wind brings rain to our district and the north wind takes snow.
    If the sea is very rough it is the sign of bad weather.
    When the mountains are covered with a mist it is also a sign of bad weather.
