106 JANUARY 



LINDU, THE KEEPER OF THE BIRDS 



finished hunters Northern Light 

 jewels 



The world was finished. 



God made beautiful Lindu. 



He gave her charge of all the birds. 



Sometimes the hunters tried to shoot these 

 birds. 



Then Lindu sent a stormy wind. 



This blew dust in their eyes. 



The North Star wished to marry her. 



But Lindu would not let him. 



" You always stay in one place/' she said. 



" I do not love you." 



Then the moon asked her to marry him. 



To him she said : 



" You change your face too often. 



" Besides, you always travel the same road." 



She said the same thing to the sun. 



Then the Northern Light came to her. 



A thousand white horses drew his diamono 

 coach. 



His servants carried a cloak full of jewels, 



Lindu loved this bright and changeful one.
