Do you know that some plants and animals can tell us about the weather? They are like little weather reporters! Let’s find out how they do it.

Before it rains, you may see ants moving in a long line. They are carrying their food to a new home. Why? They know the rain is coming and their old home will get wet. Also, swallows (燕子) fly very low in the sky before rain. They do this because small bugs fly low when the air is wet. The swallows follow the bugs to get food.

Plants are smart, too. There is a shy plant called mimosa (含羞草). On sunny days, its leaves are open. But before a storm(暴风雨), its leaves close up. It is like the plant is saying, “Rain is coming!” Nature is really amazing. Next time you see these signs, you can tell your friends what the weather will be like!
