adapted from The Star and the Lily
by Hamilton Wright Mabie
At night the people met on the wide green—the ah-nung-o-kah-and watched the stars. One night they saw a star that shone
brighter than all others, its location seemingly far away in the south, near a mountain peak. For many nights it was seen, until it was
doubted by many that the star was as distant as it seemed to be. This doubt led to an examination, which proved the star to be only a
short distance away. Warriors were sent to see what it was, and upon their return they said it appeared strange and somewhat like a
bird. A committee was called at once to ascertain the meaning of the unusual phenomenon.
By the time one moon had gone by, the mystery still remained unsolved. Then, one night a young warrior had a dream in which
the star came and stood at his side, and said, "Young brave, I have come to dwell among you!" Then, the young man awoke, but on
stepping out of his lodge he saw the star still in its accustomed place. At early dawn, every warrior was called to the council lodge.
When all were gathered, the young warrior related his dream, and the council concluded that the star that had been seen in the south
had fallen in love with mankind and wanted to live among them. So, the next night, five braves were sent to welcome the stranger to
earth and as they returned to the village, the star, with expanded wings, followed and hovered till the dawn of day.
