The Story OJ The Pleiades THE LITTLE DIPPER STAR CONSTELLATION IS KNOWN AS THE PLEIADES. THIS IS A CROUP OF SEVEN STARS WHICH LOOK AS IF THEY ARE QUITE CLOSE TOGETHER. THE IROQUIS INDIANS SAY THERE WERE AT ONE TIME SEVEN LITTLE INDIAN BOYS WHO WERE GREAT FRIENDS. EVERY EVENING THEY WOULD FIRST EAT THEIR CORN AND BEANS, AND THEN ONE OF THEIR NUMBER WOULD SIT ON THE MOUND AND SING, WHILF THE OTHERS DANCED AROUND THE MOUND. ONE TIME THEY THOUGHT THEY WOULD HAVE A MUCH GRANDER FEAST THAN USUAL, AND EACH AGREEN UPON WHAT HE WOULD BRING FOR IT. HOW- EVER, THEIR PARENTS WOULD NOT GIVE THEM WHAT THEY WANTED, SO THE LITTLE UDS MET AT THE MOUND WITHOUT THEIR FEAST. THE SINGER TOOK HIS PLACE ON THE MOUND AND BEGAN HIS SONG WHILE HIS COMPANIONS STARTED TO DANCE. AS THEY DANCED THEY FORGOT THEIR SORROWS AND THEIR HEADS AND HEARTS GREW LIGHTER, UNTIL AT IAST THEY FLEW UP INTO THE AIR. THEIR PARENTS SAW THEM AS THEY ROSE AND CRIED OUT TO THEM TO RETURN, BUT UP AND UP THEY WENT UNTIL THEY CHANGED INTO THE SEVEN STARS. NOW, ONE OF THE PLEIADES IS DIMMER THAN THE REST. THEY SAY THAT IS THE LITTLE SINGER WHO IS HOMESICK AND PALE BECAUSE HE WANTS TO RETURN BUT CANNOT.
