Solar eclipse,1978

One day as a kid in around class 4, I was with my grandmother in the famous Wangige market when it suddenly grew dark and night descended upon us and it was only about 3pm,my grandmother and other market women cursed and wondered how dusk had come in so early. She gathered her wares and we set back on our way home but before we arrived, it started getting lighter and lighter till it was day again. Confused, we went home and found my grandfather had even milked the cows when ‘dusk’ set in. It was only when my dad came home later in the evening that he explained we had experienced a total solar eclipse.

wacha kiherehere kama shoti ya kwanza.brarry nugu!

Learn to acknowledge your sources, bloody plagiarist!!

Pia sisi tulioshwa miguu twende tukalale na mathee. But hata kabla usingizi utupate jua likachomoza. Ndio tukaulizana kwa mshangao, “Kwani usiku wa leo umekuwa mfupi namna gani?”
