   2-12-38 Folklore When there is an eclipse in the moon it gets clouded. Long ago when an eclipse used to come in the moon, the old people used to think that it would be the end of the world, and some of them used to kill themselves. The first star that comes in the sky is called the evening star, and the last star that stays in the sky is called the morning star. Got from: Mr. Wade Mick.
