oursun. The Chinese say that if you look into the night sky on the seventhmonth in the Chinese calendar,
you will see this bridge of stars veryclearly.
A long time ago, there lived a king in the Land of Stars. He waspowerful. He was the mightiest
ruler in the vast expanse of the skies.But the Land of Stars was not his important treasure. His most
preciouspossession was his own daughter.
The princess was beautiful and hardworking, loving and obedientto her father. And she did one
thing nobody else could do. She couldweave clouds on her loom every day. The clouds covered the sky
andgave shelter to the people from the hot sun.It came to pass that a handsome prince from a neighboring
spacekingdom visited the king. He was attracted
by the princess’ beauty. He saw how respectful and obedient the princess was to her father. Theyfell in love
with each other.
The Prince asked the Princess’s hand in marriage. The King agreed on one condition. The
princess must continue weaving cloudseven after her marriage. And the Prince agreed.But the young
lovers forgot their promise. The Princess spent daysgathering heavenly flowers. She would dress herself
with jewels of allkinds. The Prince enjoyed the company of his beautiful bride. Theywould play, travel, and
enjoy food and music all day long. The Princeleft his kingdom to his ministers. He spent all his time
with his 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
were no rains that watered the earth. Crops and animals died. Withone wave of his hand, the King
separated the lovers. He sent the princeto the northern skies. He sent the princess to the
southern skies. TheRiver of Stars separated them. The lovers were very, very, 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 seventhmonth in the Chinese calendar, all
magpies in the world formed a bridgeover the river. The lovers would meet and all the stars in the sky
twinkled their brightness as the lovers enjoyed each other’s company.
