    The dog eats grass when it is going to rain. When the sheep are grazing early in the morning it is going to rain. The goats run for shelter, and the ass stands with his back to the wind when it is going to rain. The frog changes his colour when it is going to rain.
    The sky gets black, the hills seem nearer, and the river and lakes get muddy when it is going to rain. The spider creeps from his cobweb and the blindbat flies about when there is good weather.
