There is a folk tale that tells the story about a man who was in love with this particular star in the sky...

Once at dawn, it came down and both were really really happy. They talked all day long, telling each other about memories past, and so on.

By the time just before dusk the star asked the man to walk her to the world´s highest peak. Once there, the star told it was about her time to go; the man stared at her but couldnt understand why did she had to leave, all in all they had had the greatest time together.

The star explained that because of its nature, she couldnt stay for more than a day in a life time, that she belonged in the sky. All this said, the man went very sad. The star told the man to join her into the heights, but he told her: "how could I?" So she told him to walk down the hill eyes closed and to look back when in the foothills and that she would be there right at his sight. The man did so, but when he looked back the star was already in the sky, all gleaming in full heights and staring at the man.

Far away, yet so close...

The man realized again that this star was the brightest among the stars and that its light was the sky´s most beautiful.

He tried talking to her but there was no answer, it seemed that the star had gone numb.

He came back night after night but there was never a response.

Tiime passed and he figured out that if he went up enough the hill, then he could reach out and touch her again... and stay together.

So he made up his mind for the journey and started climbing. At first he would go up and up but it proved hard to reach the top.

Nobody knows what happened to the man, they just say he went up the hill to never came down again...

Funny thing is, before long a new star appeared just beside the most beautiful star in the sky...
