Once upon a time there lived two stars, Kenna and Chinne. They served the sun. Kenna was a shepherd, tending the flock, and Chinne was a weaver, weaving canvas. The stars fell in love with each other. The Heavenly Lord allowed them to get married. And they lived happily. They were always together, never separated for a minute, and it seemed that there would be no end to their happiness. But then the shepherd Kenna stopped caring for his flock, and the weaver Chinne stopped weaving canvas. The Heavenly Lord got angry and decided to punish them. Separated. Kenna sent to the western bank of the river Eunhasu, Chinne - to the eastern. Now the poor stars had to travel for six months to meet. And even then they only managed to stay together for one night.
And if they were late, they might be late for the annual show that the Heavenly Lord arranges for the stars. In addition, the only way to cross the Silver River is by the Sorochy Bridge, and no matter how much the magpies rushed, they could not build it quickly. We've been looking for branches for the bridge for a very long time. Everyone knows what kind of bald magpies there are in the seventh month of the year. This is because they wear branches on their heads for the Magpie Bridge.
[Eunhasu - Silver River, Milky Way.]
When the stars see each other, there is no end to the joy, but it is bitter to part with them. And they cry, shed tears. The land is irrigated with abundant rain. And sometimes there are no tears, so great is their grief! And then drought comes to the earth. The earth suffers from unquenched thirst and, together with the loving stars, groans and complains.
