THE BRIDGE OF LOVE
Have you ever looked in the night sky? Have you noticed a broadband of
brightness across the entire sky? This hand of stars is called the Milky Way. It contains
over 100 billion stars including our sun. the Chinese say that if you look into the night
sky on the seventh month in the Chinese calendar, you will see this bridge of stars very
clearly.
A long time ago, there lived a king in the land of stars. He was powerful. He was
the mightiness ruler in the vast expanses of the skies. But the land of the stars was not
his important treasure. His most precious possession was his own daughter.
The princess was beautiful and hardworking, loving and obedient to her father.
And she did one thing nobody else can do. She could weave clouds on her loom every
day. The clouds covered the sky and gave shelter to the people from the hot sun.
It came to pass that a handsome prince from a neighboring space kingdom
visited the king. He was attracted by the princess’s beauty. He saw hoe respectful and
obedient the princess was to her father. They fell in love with each other.
The prince asked the princess hand in marriage. The king agreed on one
condition. The princess must continue weaving clouds even after her marriage. And
prince agreed.
But the young lovers forgot their promise. The princess spent days gathering heavenly
flowers. She would dress herself with jewels of all kinds. The prince enjoyed the
company of his beautiful bride. They play, travel, and enjoy food and music all day long.
The prince left his kingdom to his minister. He spent all his time with the princess.
And the princess never wove clouds on her loom.
The king was very angry. There were no more clouds to protect the people from
the sun’s bright rays. People died from heat. There no rains that watered the earth.
Crops and animals died. With one wave of his hand. The king separated the lovers. He
sent prince to the northern skies. He sent princess to the southern skies. The river of
stars separated them. The lovers were very sad. They cried all hours of the day and
flooded the earth with their cries.
The magpies, a kind of bird, pitied the lovers. On the seventh month in the
Chinese calendar, all magpies in the word formed a bridge over the river. The lover
would meet and all the stars in the sky twinkled their brightness as the lovers enjoyed
each other company.
