  1. (continued from previous page)
    be wet weather. When a chaffinch sings "weet weet" instead of "pink, pink" there will be rain.
    When cows and sheep gather around trees there will be a storm.
    A pimpernel, some people call "the poor mans wealthy glass". Here is a rhyme about the flowers:-
    When hollow winds begin to blow,
    The cloulds look black the glass looks low,
    Closed is the pink eyed pimpernel.
