"Kanunu Ate the Nvdaegehi" Frog Ate the Sun is an Old Oral Tradition Story about the "SOLAR ECLIPSE"...
In Ancient Times a BullFrog "Kanunu" was Very Hungry, So Hungry that He would Come Jump and Eat the SUN "Nvdaegehi" (sometimes the Moon too). This Caused Cloudy Weather and produced a DARK Night. The Wise Elders hated Kanunu so much during that time that they would Shoot Arrows (later guns), Beat the Drums, Shake the Turtle Shell Rattles. The Wise Beloved Wombmen would BANG Pots & Pans together to FRIGHTEN Kanunu AWAY so the SUN would SHINE Again.
