    When the swallows fly low it's a sign of rain, but when they fly high it's a sign of good weather.
    When you see the crows flying round in a circle it's a sign of a storm.
    When the fog goes up it's a sign of rain, but when it falls it's a sign of good weather.
    When a dog eats grass, it's a sign of rain.
