The 7 Sisters
Long ago there was Seven Sisters who came down to earth to
have
a look around. They liked it here on earth and decided to stay.
One day a man noticed the Sisters and he wanted them for his
wives.
He followed the Sisters everywhere trying hard to catch them,
but the Sisters
kept changing into animals and plants, for they did not want to
be wives.
The Sisters went back to the skies. You can see them at night
all still together
hiding from the man, who now became the Morning Star, still
searching for them. Footnote
There are many variation of the ‘7 Sisters’ stories in
Aboriginal Australia, with all relating to the Pleiades group of
stars. Depending where the story is told, the man in the stories
is usually Orion, Venus or the Moon. Image Size
