"A small orphan boy, who only had his grandmother, used to go visiting an old woman. Whenever he came on a visit to her, the old woman used to say to him: 'Go and gnaw the rear coat-flap of thy mother!'

Whenever he came visiting, she said thus to him, when they were on the point of returning, because she had got coat-flaps of sealskins. At last the boy said to his grandmother: 'The old woman always says to me: Go and gnaw the coat-flap of thy mother!.'

The grandmother said to him: 'Then thou must say to her: Thy daughter-in-law, hast thou killed her, by locking her into a crack far up towards land? Say thus when thou comest visiting her!'

When next time the boy went to visit the old woman, she again said to him: 'Go home and gnaw the rear coat-flap of thy mother!'

But then, when they were on the point of returning home, he at last said to her: 'Thy daugher-in-law, hast thou killed her, by locking her into a crack far up towards land?'

The old woman became furious. When the child had left, she took her stick and followed it. She began to pursue it, ever running around the house. At last they rose up into the air and were transformed into stars. They can be seen up there, the one being large, the other one quite small."
