Once upon a time, there was a man working as a dog herder.
Dog herder’s job is to raise hunting dogs.
One day, the man was walking along the pond with his favorite dog, and the dog suddenly started barking.
‘Hey, what’s going on? …Wow!’
He found a beautiful girl bathing in the pond.
‘I have never seen such a beautiful girl before.
She must be a celestial maiden, I’ve heard of her.
If she is a celestial maiden, she should take off her robe somewhere.’
The dog herder ordered the dog.
‘Find her robe now.’
After a while, the celestial maiden got out of the pond.
Unfortunately, her precious robe had disappeared.
That’s because the dog herder had hidden the robe.
The celestial maiden cannot go back to the sky without the robe.
‘What should I do…’
When she finished talking, the dog herder said,
‘May I help you?’
‘Thank you. Actually…’
When she finished talking, the dog herder said,
‘You can stay at my house until you find the robe.’
She had no choice.
She had no place to go, so she went to the dog herder’s house.
Finally, she became the wife of the dog herder.
A few years passed since the couple got along together.
However, the celestial maiden finally found her robe hidden by the dog herder.
‘How terrible! That’s unbelievable!’
She put the robe on quickly and went up high in the sky.
When the dog herder noticed her,
‘Wait! Don’t go!’
He yelled to her, but she disappeared into the sky.
Since the day his wife left,
the dog herder thought of her every single day.
‘How can I bring her home? What should I do?’
He went to an old fortune teller.
She advised him,
‘You cannot bring her back home.’
‘But, you can visit her.’
‘How can I go to the sky? ’
‘It’s so easy.
To see her, you must make 100 straw sandals in one night.
After making the sandals, you bury them in the ground, and plant sponge cucumber seeds on it.’
The dog herder went home and soon started to make the straw sandals.
‘My loving wife, I will never fail to take you home.’
It’s quite difficult to make 100 straw sandals.
He kept making the straw sandals without taking a rest.
However, when the morning came, he had only made 99 straw sandals.
‘I’m one sandal short, but 99 is almost the same as 100.’
He buried the sandals in the ground, and planted the sponge cucumber seeds.
The vines of the sponge cucumber grew fast until it almost reached the sky.
‘Right, you come with me.’
The dog herder and the dog climbed the vines.
‘We are almost there. I can see my wife soon.’
Although they almost reached the sky,
the vines stopped growing.
‘How could this happen? Is it my fault not to make one more straw sandal?’
When he was chagrined,
the dog following him jumped over his head and reached the sky.
Then the dog turned his back on him,
‘Here, master.’
and hung the long tail.
‘Thank you.’
The dog herder caught the dog’s tail and he managed to reach the sky.
Afterwards, it is said that the dog herder became Hikoboshi as Altair, and his wife became Orihime as Vega.
