The Girl Who Married the Star

WEBVTT

00:01.567 --> 00:02.588
[SPEAKER_00]: Ahoi, my friends.

00:03.069 --> 00:05.252
[SPEAKER_00]: Welcome aboard the Afro-Tails Barkers.

00:05.712 --> 00:07.815
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm your storyteller, Monna Zinger.

00:07.835 --> 00:15.726
[SPEAKER_00]: Join me as we explore the tales that grew from the people of indigenous and African descent in the Americas and the Caribbean.

00:15.746 --> 00:21.133
[SPEAKER_00]: After, called and see me, chef, who will impart upon me?

00:21.173 --> 00:23.696
[SPEAKER_00]: It hasn't been for the story you have just made.

00:24.117 --> 00:30.325
[SPEAKER_00]: So with no further ado, let us set set on this,

00:32.532 --> 00:34.836
[SPEAKER_00]: The lazy boys who became their pleadies.

00:39.543 --> 00:49.818
[SPEAKER_00]: Long, long ago, in the beginning of this world, they lived in old women with seven children, who were all boys.

00:51.220 --> 01:01.476
[SPEAKER_00]: The boys were full of life and fun, and they would go away from the others and play all the day long.

01:01.456 --> 01:02.697
[SPEAKER_00]: and would not work.

01:03.438 --> 01:09.605
[SPEAKER_00]: Nor take time to eat, but twice a day, morning and evening.

01:10.967 --> 01:24.122
[SPEAKER_00]: When they came home in the evening, their mother would scold them, and when evening, when they came home late for their supper, their mother would not let them have anything to eat.

01:26.127 --> 01:37.555
[SPEAKER_00]: The boys were very angry and went back to their play and determined that on the maro to go away where they would never trouble her anymore.

01:39.070 --> 01:40.111
[SPEAKER_00]: the next morning.

01:41.112 --> 01:52.603
[SPEAKER_00]: Early they went out to their playground before breakfast and began to go around and around the house, praying to the spirits to help them.

01:53.624 --> 02:06.597
[SPEAKER_00]: At last, their mother noticed and heard what they were saying and as she watched them, she noticed that their feet were

02:08.332 --> 02:26.140
[SPEAKER_00]: and she ran out, trying to get her children, but it was too late, with every round, they rose higher and higher in the air, and were soon above the roof of the house.

02:27.342 --> 02:32.230
[SPEAKER_00]: They circled higher and higher until they went up to the sky.

02:33.593 --> 02:37.661
[SPEAKER_00]: where we can see them now as the seven stars.

02:39.023 --> 02:48.121
[SPEAKER_00]: These seven boys, who were taken to the sky, were very indolent.

02:48.141 --> 02:54.032
[SPEAKER_00]: And when the work time came, they would always slip off and lay.

02:55.531 --> 03:01.258
[SPEAKER_00]: that is the reason that during the winter months, the seven stars can be seen.

03:02.520 --> 03:11.451
[SPEAKER_00]: But at the beginning of the spring months, at the work time, the seven stars are gone.

03:13.754 --> 03:19.041
[SPEAKER_00]: The end, evening star and orphan

03:22.396 --> 03:30.011
[SPEAKER_00]: A poor boy lived with a large family of people who were not kind to him and mistreated him.

03:31.233 --> 03:40.270
[SPEAKER_00]: He could not go to play or hunt with other boys, but had to do all of the hard work.

03:41.971 --> 03:49.720
[SPEAKER_00]: Whenever the camp broke up, the family's always tried to still away and leave the boy behind.

03:49.740 --> 03:58.911
[SPEAKER_00]: A sooner or later he found a new camp and went to them because he had no other place to go.

03:58.931 --> 04:11.505
[SPEAKER_00]: One time, several families went in boats to an island in a large lake to hunt eggs, and the orphan boy went with them.

04:11.907 --> 04:21.484
[SPEAKER_00]: After they had filled their boats with aes and secretly made ready to go back to the mainland.

04:22.566 --> 04:31.862
[SPEAKER_00]: In the night, while the orphan boy was asleep, they stole away in their boats, leaving him to starve on the lonely island.

04:33.004 --> 04:36.430
[SPEAKER_00]: The boy wondered about the island, eating only

04:36.595 --> 04:45.510
[SPEAKER_00]: The scraps that he could find around the dead campfires, until he was almost starved.

04:45.530 --> 04:58.232
[SPEAKER_00]: As he did not have it bow and arrows, he could not hunt, but he sat by the water's edge and tried to catch fish as they swam past him.

04:59.680 --> 05:08.735
[SPEAKER_00]: One day, as he sat on the lonely shore, he saw a large animal with horns coming to him from the water.

05:09.977 --> 05:17.148
[SPEAKER_00]: He sat very still and watched the animal, for he was too frightened to run away.

05:17.188 --> 05:26.143
[SPEAKER_00]: The monster came straight to him, then raised his head out of the water and said,

05:27.828 --> 05:30.733
[SPEAKER_00]: I have come to save you.

05:32.716 --> 05:43.313
[SPEAKER_00]: I saw the people deserve you, and I have taken pity upon you, and have come to rescue you.

05:43.333 --> 05:52.047
[SPEAKER_00]: Get on my back, and hold to my horns, and I will carry you to the main ground.

05:54.608 --> 05:59.794
[SPEAKER_00]: The boy was no longer afraid, but climbed upon the animals back.

06:00.775 --> 06:08.243
[SPEAKER_00]: Keep your eyes on the blue sky, and if you see a star, tell me at once.

06:09.805 --> 06:16.272
[SPEAKER_00]: The animal said to him, they had not gone far when the boy cried.

06:16.332 --> 06:20.717
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a, there in the west is a big star.

06:21.794 --> 06:29.208
[SPEAKER_00]: The monster looked up and saw the star, and turned around at once to swim back to the island.

06:29.228 --> 06:42.013
[SPEAKER_00]: As fast as he could, the next day he came and took the boy again, telling him as before to call out the moment he saw a star appear in the sky.

06:43.630 --> 06:49.253
[SPEAKER_00]: They had gone a little farther than they had the day before when the boy cried out.

06:50.839 --> 06:52.948
[SPEAKER_00]: Then the West is a star.

06:53.806 --> 07:13.924
[SPEAKER_00]: The animal turned around and went to the shore, the next day, and the next four days started with the boy, and each time he seems to get a little farther before the boy saw the star.

07:13.904 --> 07:20.696
[SPEAKER_00]: The six-time they were with Anne a few feet at the opposite shore when the boys saw the star.

07:21.617 --> 07:29.531
[SPEAKER_00]: He wanted to reach the shore so badly that he thought he would keep still and not tell the monster that he saw the star.

07:30.633 --> 07:37.785
[SPEAKER_00]: For he knew that he would take him back to the island at once if he did.

07:38.761 --> 07:45.110
[SPEAKER_00]: He said nothing, so the monster swam on until they were almost in the shallow water.

07:46.212 --> 08:06.642
[SPEAKER_00]: When the boy saw a great black cloud roll in front of the star, he became frightened, jumped off the animals back and swam to shore, just as he jumped, something struck the animal with

08:06.622 --> 08:17.399
[SPEAKER_00]: When the boy came upon the shore, a handsome young man came up to him and said, you have done me a great favor.

08:17.420 --> 08:25.092
[SPEAKER_00]: For a long time I have tried to kill this monster, because he makes the water the late dangers.

08:26.054 --> 08:28.998
[SPEAKER_00]: But until now I could never get the chance.

08:30.260 --> 08:31.903
[SPEAKER_00]: In return for what you have done.

08:32.592 --> 08:36.860
[SPEAKER_00]: I will take you with me to the sky if you get to go.

08:38.442 --> 08:48.340
[SPEAKER_00]: The boy said he wanted to go in his, he was alone and friendly on the earth, the man who was the evening star.

08:49.062 --> 09:02.759
[SPEAKER_00]: took him with him to the sky, and there he may be seen as orphaned star, who stands near, evening star, the end.

09:05.382 --> 09:18.698
[SPEAKER_00]: The girl who married a star, one time a maiden slept in an arbor, and as she lay under

09:19.589 --> 09:31.103
[SPEAKER_00]: One star, especially she watched, and she wished that it would become a man in the barrier for she did not care for any of the young men of the village.

09:32.284 --> 09:36.429
[SPEAKER_00]: She went to sleep, wishing that that star would marry her.

09:37.670 --> 09:48.583
[SPEAKER_00]: When she awoke, she saw no stars, but an old man sitting by the fireside.

09:49.694 --> 10:00.996
[SPEAKER_00]: Your wish is granted, you are the star's wife, I am the star.

10:01.016 --> 10:12.698
[SPEAKER_00]: She began to cry for the man was old and lonely and she was young and beautiful and so she had dreamed that her husband would be.

10:14.028 --> 10:21.476
[SPEAKER_00]: The star's sister was preparing something to eat, and she told the girl to stop crying and come and eat.

10:22.637 --> 10:28.122
[SPEAKER_00]: After a while, the two women went out to dig potatoes.

10:29.283 --> 10:37.031
[SPEAKER_00]: They saw one big potato and the girl asked the star's sister what the big potato was full.

10:38.212 --> 10:40.795
[SPEAKER_00]: She answered that it was the door of heaven.

10:41.517 --> 10:45.642
[SPEAKER_00]: and it covered the entrance to the world beneath.

10:46.944 --> 10:52.632
[SPEAKER_00]: Then the girl cried again and begged the woman to let her go back to our people.

10:53.753 --> 11:02.665
[SPEAKER_00]: She told her how unhappy she was and what a mistake she had made in wishing to marry the star.

11:02.645 --> 11:12.980
[SPEAKER_00]: The woman told the star, all that his wife had said, and so the star agreed to let her return to her people in six days.

11:14.201 --> 11:23.775
[SPEAKER_00]: The two women went out together bark from young

11:25.409 --> 11:31.997
[SPEAKER_00]: After they had gathered the bark, they began to make the rope, and the star helped.

11:32.818 --> 11:46.354
[SPEAKER_00]: After six days the rope was only half long enough, and so the old man said she would have to wait six more days until they could complete the rope.

11:46.334 --> 12:01.236
[SPEAKER_00]: On the 11th day, the rope was finished, and the star's sister cooked some cornmeal for the girl to eat on the way and filled a squash vessel with water for her.

12:02.598 --> 12:14.215
[SPEAKER_00]: The star told her to start early the next morning, for it would take her 10 winters and summers to get to earth.

12:14.195 --> 12:27.040
[SPEAKER_00]: They fastened her to the end of the rope and then removed the potato and let her through the hole and gradually let the ropes slip out.

12:28.319 --> 12:35.591
[SPEAKER_00]: At first she could see nothing but darkness, then after a long time she could see the earth.

12:36.913 --> 12:47.871
[SPEAKER_00]: After she had traveled through many ways of warm and cold air, she knew she had been on her way, many summers and winters.

12:48.892 --> 12:55.643
[SPEAKER_00]: Her food was almost gone, and she still was a long way from the earth.

12:55.623 --> 13:02.373
[SPEAKER_00]: Suddenly, the rope ceased to slip, and she hung swinging back and forth.

13:03.675 --> 13:07.340
[SPEAKER_00]: She had come to the end of the rope, and it was not long enough.

13:08.461 --> 13:19.437
[SPEAKER_00]: She hung there for a long time, and was about to die from hunger and awareness when she saw buzzing, circling around below her.

13:19.417 --> 13:23.884
[SPEAKER_00]: she called to buzzer to come and help her.

13:23.904 --> 13:24.384
[SPEAKER_00]: He came.

13:24.424 --> 13:35.301
[SPEAKER_00]: And after she told him her story he told her to get on his back that he would take her down to earth.

13:36.542 --> 13:43.753
[SPEAKER_00]: Buzzard flew for a long time the girl was heavy, so he nearly gave out.

13:44.155 --> 13:51.067
[SPEAKER_00]: He saw Hulk flying below him and he called Hulk and asked him to help him take the girl home.

13:52.089 --> 13:57.718
[SPEAKER_00]: Hulk flew with the girl until he could see the mountains and the rivers, then he gave out.

13:58.620 --> 14:05.151
[SPEAKER_00]: Buzzard took the girl on his back again and thanking Hulk for his help, told him to go on his way.

14:06.937 --> 14:10.423
[SPEAKER_00]: that he could take the girl on to her home.

14:11.745 --> 14:16.632
[SPEAKER_00]: Buzzard flew on and on until they could see the trees.

14:17.634 --> 14:23.704
[SPEAKER_00]: And soon they were even with the tops of the highest trees.

14:24.825 --> 14:32.758
[SPEAKER_00]: Then Buzzard told the girl to go into her lives when she went home and not to let anyone but her father and mother see her.

14:34.527 --> 14:39.754
[SPEAKER_00]: She was so thin, that she was little more than skin and bones.

14:41.035 --> 14:48.064
[SPEAKER_00]: Buzzer flew to the ground and lighted very gently, just outside the girl's village.

14:49.386 --> 14:54.713
[SPEAKER_00]: He pointed out her parents' lodge to her and, then,

14:54.693 --> 14:56.778
[SPEAKER_00]: set a goodbye and flew away.

14:56.798 --> 15:05.901
[SPEAKER_00]: The girl rested for a while and then began to walk very slowly to the lodge for she was weak and exhausted.

15:07.788 --> 15:10.993
[SPEAKER_00]: On the way, he saw a woman coming toward her.

15:12.275 --> 15:16.721
[SPEAKER_00]: She hid behind a bush, but the woman saw her in screened.

15:17.562 --> 15:20.687
[SPEAKER_00]: For the girl was so thin that she frightened her.

15:22.129 --> 15:32.985
[SPEAKER_00]: The girl told the woman not to be afraid and told who she was, and the woman recognized the lost maiden and helped her to her lodge.

15:32.965 --> 15:43.339
[SPEAKER_00]: Her mother did not know her at first, but when she found that the girl was her daughter, she threw her arms about her and went.

15:44.781 --> 15:50.729
[SPEAKER_00]: The news of the girl's return spread throughout the village, but her parents obeyed.

15:51.810 --> 15:56.897
[SPEAKER_00]: Her wish and refused to let anyone see her until after the 10th day.

15:58.244 --> 15:59.767
[SPEAKER_00]: Then they came to her T.P.

16:00.710 --> 16:07.124
[SPEAKER_00]: and she told them her story and especially about the kindness shown her by buzzer.

16:08.527 --> 16:14.180
[SPEAKER_00]: After that, people always left one buffalo for the buzzers after a big killing.

16:15.844 --> 16:16.405
[SPEAKER_00]: The end.

16:24.063 --> 16:43.692
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow, so these were some great stories coming from the book traditions of the cattle collected under the auspices of the Carnegie Institution of Washington by George A. Dorsey.

16:43.672 --> 16:52.317
[SPEAKER_00]: I really liked the star theme in these stories.

16:52.978 --> 16:55.486
[SPEAKER_00]: They were very interesting.

16:57.712 --> 16:58.795
[SPEAKER_00]: First things first though.

17:00.327 --> 17:03.593
[SPEAKER_00]: There are more than seven stars in the Pleadies.

17:04.274 --> 17:12.450
[SPEAKER_00]: Those are just what it looked like looking for us to look up into the sky at night.

17:13.872 --> 17:23.871
[SPEAKER_00]: The Kato people, the Greek, and even the average knees of Australia,

17:23.851 --> 17:31.643
[SPEAKER_00]: all have stories, stories, and I'm pretty sure there's more people groups that have stories of the Pleiades.

17:33.606 --> 17:48.610
[SPEAKER_00]: But if you were to Google the Pleiades, you would see that it's more than seven, it's more like nine, I think, and then the actual numbers that think over a thousand stars in each cluster.

17:49.045 --> 18:10.108
[SPEAKER_00]: So that that alone kind of like throws off the story or even make the seven sisters story and greasy or anything like that because it's more than that but I think the message is clear that don't be lazy, you know, they got stuck up there.

18:10.088 --> 18:16.720
[SPEAKER_00]: And it is a message to show that, yeah, I didn't win a month there, you know, you can see them.

18:17.722 --> 18:23.011
[SPEAKER_00]: When a month you also aren't doing much work, you should have already harvested everything you're going to do.

18:23.091 --> 18:28.401
[SPEAKER_00]: And now you are resting and trying to stay warm.

18:28.381 --> 18:45.175
[SPEAKER_00]: you know and the animals are hibernating or deep sleeping and you know it's a time for rest but then when the work time comes springtime comes it's time to go to work and those stars for the cattle people at least could not be seen anymore.

18:45.931 --> 19:07.990
[SPEAKER_00]: you know so that that was a very interesting outlook on that the evening star and the orphan star story was also a very interesting since orphan stars are hard to see by the naked eye

19:07.970 --> 19:11.416
[SPEAKER_00]: And the evening star, if you don't know, is basically Venus.

19:12.057 --> 19:16.525
[SPEAKER_00]: So it's the evening and the morning star, Venus is.

19:17.507 --> 19:21.835
[SPEAKER_00]: So it was a little weird trying to figure out what the Orphan star was.

19:21.935 --> 19:29.168
[SPEAKER_00]: Now an interesting thing is that the Orphan star,

19:30.633 --> 19:49.367
[SPEAKER_00]: can refer to a story from the Messiah people in Africa that is called the Orphan boy and there actually referring to Venus in that in that sense.

19:49.870 --> 20:16.367
[SPEAKER_00]: that's interesting so in most people recognize the evening star and the morning star is being Venus but in the massacre to the orphaned boy is also Venus so if you were to have some kind of way of that these two people groups came in connection at some point before these stories were recorded maybe

20:16.347 --> 20:18.312
[SPEAKER_00]: That's where you get the two from.

20:18.573 --> 20:30.745
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not sure It just sounds pretty interesting that An orphan store is a very faint store that you can see not normally by the naked eye

20:30.910 --> 20:41.542
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if at the time when they came up with this story they were able to see maybe one of Venus' moons.

20:42.503 --> 20:45.327
[SPEAKER_00]: And that is where they get the orphaned star from.

20:45.367 --> 20:47.909
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe it's all Venus and a moon.

20:48.450 --> 20:53.636
[SPEAKER_00]: Or maybe it's all Venus and another celestial body close to it but a little fainter.

20:54.117 --> 20:55.538
[SPEAKER_00]: So it looked like an orphaned star.

20:57.140 --> 20:57.981
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

20:57.961 --> 20:58.562
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

20:58.622 --> 21:12.998
[SPEAKER_00]: That is something that we would never know because even if you were to talk to people now, they would probably have a different opinion than what the people that saw at that very moment thought.

21:13.238 --> 21:13.758
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I mean?

21:15.801 --> 21:21.667
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, I don't like the way the orphan boy treated the monster.

21:21.727 --> 21:27.073
[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't like the way that even the start just killed the monster.

21:27.053 --> 21:29.637
[SPEAKER_00]: The water's dangerous, but ocean's dangerous.

21:30.038 --> 21:32.863
[SPEAKER_00]: Water's dangerous no matter what, even if there's a monster there or not.

21:33.544 --> 21:35.768
[SPEAKER_00]: It's still dangerous, you know what I mean?

21:35.848 --> 21:40.095
[SPEAKER_00]: So, I really feel like the monster got the raw into the stick on that.

21:41.257 --> 21:47.307
[SPEAKER_00]: And lastly, the story about the girl marrying the star.

21:47.287 --> 21:50.451
[SPEAKER_00]: And they understand, there's two versions of this.

21:51.012 --> 22:07.632
[SPEAKER_00]: So if you heard a fourth story, I understand you heard both versions, and that means you are a patron on subscriber, because they're the ones that are getting the fourth one, because I just thought it would be done to play both.

22:07.652 --> 22:13.159
[SPEAKER_00]: And I really didn't like the second version as much, but I thought it would be nice to share.

22:13.139 --> 22:33.932
[SPEAKER_00]: So in that story you have a girl who wants to marry a star rather than be married to one of the guys at the village and wishes to do it and does it and then she realized all the stars are actually a very very old man.

22:33.912 --> 22:53.102
[SPEAKER_00]: She's a young maiden, and she's like, no, I don't want this, and instead of the star holding her captive, you know, his sister tells him, hey, you know, she's a sorry bro, she's not feeling you like that, and he's like, you know what, okay, I'm cool.

22:53.453 --> 23:01.542
[SPEAKER_00]: Because I mean, a star would be an old man, if you made a star a human, it wasn't like it would be an old man because stars are old.

23:02.323 --> 23:04.866
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what we view as stars are very old.

23:05.166 --> 23:07.128
[SPEAKER_00]: So you know what it means, that makes sense.

23:10.012 --> 23:11.493
[SPEAKER_00]: But yes, they helped her out.

23:11.653 --> 23:12.815
[SPEAKER_00]: They helped to get back to earth.

23:12.895 --> 23:15.698
[SPEAKER_00]: And unfortunately, they didn't make enough because, you know,

23:15.678 --> 23:40.487
[SPEAKER_00]: They're far from Earth and so they to make the rope longer but then the buzzer helps her and you know they she gets home And I think I think you know the story is trying to tell us that you know be grateful for what you have You know I understand wanting more and But sometimes what you wish for isn't what you actually want

23:41.311 --> 23:42.012
[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I mean?

23:42.053 --> 23:52.495
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's what, you know, be mindful of what you wish for, you know, because she just said she wanted to start to be a man and the start wasn't me, who just was an old man.

23:53.397 --> 24:00.973
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, so I wondered if she went back home and, you know, and want to marry one of the, the guys from the village, you know.

24:00.953 --> 24:10.869
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, I thought it was gonna be like a time skip type thing that she's gonna get home and she wasn't gonna meet any family because, you know, time for a star and time for human, you know, very, very different.

24:11.450 --> 24:14.896
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought it was gonna be one of those kind of stories but it wasn't, so that was pretty cool.

24:14.916 --> 24:17.680
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, um,

24:17.660 --> 24:32.682
