- The Sheep will be lying down in the morning.
Signs of rain:-
The sheep will be out grazing in the morning.
Sun rises red with red stripes out from it.
Signs of a storm:-
The crows and stares cluster together in a field.
The dog has altered in his taste
Quits mutton bones and grass to feast.
The frog has changed his yellow vest,
And in a russet coat he's dressed,
Hark, how the chairs and tables creek,
Grandfather's joints are on the rack.
