Original Write: In the sky during the summer nights you can find a long white band; people in the West call it the Milky Way, but ancient people in China called it Tian He, the Heavenly River, or Yin Heļ¼the Silvery Way. To the east of Tian He is a constellation consisting of four stars, called Vega. To the west three stars, called Altair, form a straight line.
The beautiful and gentle Vega, a granddaughter of the King of Heaven, wove silk and satin every day. She worked so hard that she had no time to enjoy herself. Realizing that she was hardworking but lonely, the King of Heaven married her to Altair to the west of the Heavenly River. After they were married, they lived very happily, romping in the sky together and enjoying themselves beside the Silvery Way.
The previously hardworking Vega now devoted all her time to her new love, making the King of Heaven very angry. After summoning and blaming the two lover, he damanded that Vega return to the east of the river allowing her to meet Altair but once a year. After returning to the east of the river, Vega resumed her lonely and tiring work. Waving her thin and delicate hands back and forth, she wove silk and stain, but because she was always sad and tearful, she was unable to weave even one bolt per day. Altair, to the west of the Heavenly River, couldn't plow the fields either; he just moped about each day thinking only of Vega.
Although the river was clear and shallow, the couple could not talk to each other across it. They could only look longingly at one another.
Finally on the seventh night of the seventh lunar month, Vega and Altair could be together at last. On this day they shone brilliantly. Magpies flew from afar creating a bridge over the Silvery River so Vega could across to meet her husband. Vega, beautifully dressed, hurried across the magpie bridge to return to her husband
