- (continued from previous page)sheep get their lambs together and go to some sheltry place, birds fly about and do not go to their nests when evening comes. The cat sits up on the hob, the dog stretches himself out in front of the fire and every animal give notice of the storm.
If the dust is blowing along the road, when the sea is at its highest, when the lakes are shivering, when the lakes are flowing over their banks and when the waterfalls are flowing with rage it is a sign of stormy weather.
The insects disappear when there is bad weather and it is so with all the winged creatures. Old people often forretell what is coming, whether it is going to be fine or wet.
