What will the weather be like? Some animals can tell the weather. If people want to know the weather, they
can watch the animals.
When the weather is not good, seabirds will stay on the shore (海岸). They don’t
like to fly in the strong wind. They may stay in a tree when heavy rain is coming. But
when people see seabirds flying high in the sky, they know it will be a sunny day.
When the rain is on the way, the ants will move their houses from the low places
to the high places, because they worry that rain will submerge (浸没) their homes.
