    When there is a circle around the moon, it is the sign of a storm. When the circle is near the moon it is the sign that the storm is far away, and when the circle is far away it is a sign that the storm is near.
    When you see stars falling it is the sign of lightning. And when the sun is red it is the sign of frost.
