The legend of the stars



      Once upon a time there was a traveler, holding a bag of stars. He was going to put the stars in the sky, in a beautiful, well arranged pattern. He also carried food. Everybody needs food. Meat, mostly. But then, a wolf attacked. When the wolf jumped on him, the stars came out of the bag, and into the sky, in an unarranged pattern scattered across the sky.  "Why did you attack me? Now the stars are the opposite of the way I wanted them to be! You foolish mutt! This is all your fault! Be gone! Out! Out! Mush! Mush!" he shouted. The wolf whimpered and ran away. Then, he found a steep cliff, and howled at the moon. That was his way for expressing his shame. That is why the stars are scattered and wolves howl.
