�Warning signs� of a solar eclipse

Although it is easy to find factual explanations for such phenomena because of technological advances, I decided to consult village folks at Serowe (who are not fond of eclipses) to hear their explanations on why the sun is suddenly getting dark in the middle of a September day.

As a child of the village, sometimes these things are better heard from folktales without the somewhat boring scientific explanations. Space scientists have expressly demonstrated the eclipse. They have even correctly predicted future eclipses, both solar and lunar, with excellent precision.
