A
long time ago, there was a young man who lived in a small village.
One day as he was on his way home from working in the fields,
he discovered the most beautiful clothes he had ever seen. |

wanted the clothes very badly, so he quietly put them in his
basket and started to walk away... |

Orihime
asked the young man whose name was Hikoboshi, to return her
robe of feathers. She explained that she came from up in the
heavens and had just came down to the pool to take a bath. Without
her robe of feathers, she could not return to her home. She
was very upset but he pretended not to understand and said: |

|
しかたないですね。 ぼくの うちへ いっしょに いきましょう。 |

Unable
to go back to heaven, Orihime was forced to remain on earth.
Eventually Orihime and the young man married. |

One
day several years later、while Hikoboshi was working in the
fields, Orihime found her robe of feathers hidden between two
beams in the ceiling. |

Orihime
put on the robe of feathers and began to feel like the heavenly

That
evening when her husband came home, he was surprised to see
Orihime wearing the robe of feathers, standing in front of the
house. Orihime began rising up toward heaven. |

Orihime
said that if he loved her he must weave 1000 pairs of zoori
straw sandals and bury them around the bamboo tree. She would
wait for him. |

The
very next day he began making the zoori straw sandals. He continued
weaving them day and night. At last he finally finished making
his last pair and buried them around the bamboo tree. |

Right
away the bamboo tree began to get bigger and bigger, and it
grew higher and higher into the sky. |

The
young man began climbing the bamboo tree. He climbed higher
and higher until he was almost able to reach heaven. But because
he had wanted to see Orihime so badly, he rushed too quickly
in making the straw sandals and had only made 999 pairs. |

tree stopped one step short, and the young man's hand could
not reach the heavens above. |

Orihime's
father was not happy that she had married from earth. He set
some tasks for Hikoboshi to complete, hoping to make him miserable.

complete the task. |

The
king was furious and told him that he had planted the seeds
in the wrong field. So Orihime quickly gathered her friends,
the birds, and they helped Hikoboshi replant the seeds. |

The

He
had to stand guard over the field of melons for three days and
nights without eating the melons. |

Watching
the melon field made the young man extremely thirsty, but if
he ate one of the melons, he knew something terrible would happen. |

But
as the three days went by, the young man grew thirsty and he
couldn’t bare it any more. He reached for a melon. The instant
he did, water burst forth from the fruit and became a flowing
river. |

an instant the two were pulled apart from each other.
The two sweethearts looking across the river at each other became

Orihime's
father allows them to meet, but only once a year, on the night
of July 7. To this day these two stars face each other across
the Milky Way, shining brightly. |
