=**__ Lyra:) __**= = = = = = Once upon a time there was an orphan boy taking care of his water buffalo by the stream. Seven maidens came down from heaven to bathe. Their job in heaven is to weave clothes for the almighty gods in heaven. The boy is very interested in the youngest girl so he hides behind the plants and takes her robe so she couldn't return to heaven. From doing that they end up getting married and they now share immortality. They had been married for 3 years and had two children when the queen of heaven ordered only the weaving girl to return to heaven. The husband hid inside a water buffalo with his two children and snuck into heaven to keep his family together. When the queen found out she created a deep river seperating the couple once again. So now if you look into the sky you will see Altair(the husband) and Lyra(the weaving girl/wife) being seperated by the Milky Way(the deep river). = = = =__ Did You Know..? __=
