Red sky at night, sailors' delight.
Red sky at morning, sailors' take warning

"Daddy, i have heard this before, but hardly understand what it means", Pamela said, with a puppy face expression.

Beaming with smile, and thinking where to start from, the dad answered,

"Red sky at night, sailors' delight: When we see a red sky at night, this means that the setting sun is sending its light through a high concentration of dust particles. This usually indicates high pressure and stable air coming in from the west. Basically good weather will follow. This delights sailors as they will enjoy a smooth sailing with no boisterous wind", he said.

Still pressing further, he said, "A red sunrise can mean that a good weather has already passed, thus indicating that a storm system may be moving to the east, a clear sign that rain could be on its way, which is never a welcome idea for the sailors"

"Life may sometimes give you warning, Pamela. We learn as we grow in life, but we have the power of choice. When the chips are down, when the signs come unannounced, the true test come to the surface. Tackle life prepared, love."

Word Count: 199.
