for a living. Abad and Azad
loved each other like
brothers. They helped each

 They went fishing at
night. Whenever they are
separated during rainy
nights, Abad would swing
his lamp to his left and right.
Seeing the light, Azad would
shout very, very loud. In that
way, they would find each
other.
 One day, Abad fell ill and died.
Not long after, Azad fell ill and he
too died. Even after death, the
friends were together. They now
roamed the heavens, instead of the
sea. Whenever they are separated,
Abad would swing his lamp first to
the left, then to the right and so on.
Seeing this light, Azad would shout
his friend’s name and they would
find their way to each other.
 This is why, in the dark
rainy days, we see Abad’s
light sharply flashing across
the sky and we hear Azad’s
loud booming voice finding
its way to Abad.
