- (continued from previous page)the ass shouts there is going to be rain. If there is a mist on windows or mirrors there is going to be rain. If the flys swarm together in the evenings it is a sign of rain. If there is a mist out in the evening it is a sign that it will be dry the next day. If the sun shines strong very suddenly it will soon be rain. If the soot falls down the chimney it is a sign of rain. If we think the hills are beside us it is a sign of rain, but if we think the hills are far away from us it is a sign of dry weather. If the goats shout, it is a sign of rain. If we hear bells ringing plainly from a distance it is a sign of rain. The cat washes her face and the ducks quack when rain is coming. The blackbird changes his song and the frogs hop about when rain is coming.
