About the Stars
They saw four star-families, and they were to be named: Planet, star, meteor, and comet.
He named the first family “wandering stars”, because they moved throughout the sky.
He named the second family “standing stars”, because they stood in their place with no motion, and they were far from the sun.
He named the third family “falling stars”, because they hurled themselves to earth.
He named the fourth family “fire tails”, because they saw distant suns, and they had shining tails, and they poured fire from themselves.
The sun who burns in anger will promise those star-families to a tribe.
