Summary

<i>A Girl being angry with her mother, because the latter asked her for a certain kind of food which she had put to roast in the fire, threw it with the wood-ashes that were upon it, into the air. The food was changed into stars, and the ashes became the Milky Way. By |han≠kass'o (L VIII.-10. 6879-6884).</i> The Milky Way resembles the wood ash and the stars resemble the <i>!huin</i> roots in colour and shape.
