“Nonsense，”says the husband．“I can remember a dish of ice cream．”
“Well，”says the wife．“I’d also like some strawberries on it．”
“My memory’s not all that bad，” says the husband．“No problem! A dish of ice cream
with strawberries．I don’t need to write that down．”

If you are planning a picnic，watch your pets．If your dog paces (踱步) and your cat
twitches (抽搐)，make other plans．It may rain that day．If you want to wash your car，go
outside early in the day and look for a spider (蜘蛛)．If you see a spider spinning a web，get
out your soap and bucket (水桶)．There will most likely be fair weather．
If you would rather fly a kite，look at the stars the night before．If they are bright，find
your kite．It will be windy the next day．But if you are more in the mood for swim，listen to
the crickets (蟋蟀)．By counting their chirps，you can tell if it is warm enough．
What do animals know about the weather? Dampness (湿气) collects in the air before rain．It makes each hair in an animal’s fur swell (膨胀)．That’s why your pets move about restlessly．Spiders do not like dampness in the air either．A spiderweb will not stick to a damp surface．So if a spide is spinning a web，the air must be dry．
How can stars help you plan your fun? Stars are most easily seen when winds high in the air blow dust and clouds away．These winds will drop to the ground the next day，making it windy．What about those crickets? Count the number of times a cricket chirps in 15 seconds．Then add 37 to find out how warm it is．
