The sparrow stores food before the snow falls. The dog enters the stove, snow is coming. The pig carries grass, the cold wave is coming. The frog croaks, it's time to plant early rice. The magpie crows, it's time to plant and harvest wheat. The oriole sings, it's time to harvest wheat. The toad comes out of the cave, it's time to rain. The worm climbs the road, the rain is chaotic. Hearing the cicada's call in the rain, it's a sign of sunny weather. The chicken stays late, the duck cheers, and the wind and rain will come soon. The ant builds its nest, it's time to rain. The swallows fly low, it's time to rain. The fish jumps out of the water, rain is coming. The turtle's back is wet, it's a sign of rain. The mudfish is quiet, the weather is sunny.
