(The Big Bear and the Little Bear: by Norm McCarter)
The King of the Stars fell in love with a beautiful woman on Earth and they had a child. One day the mother fell very ill, but refused to die. The illness was contagious and the other and child had to be separated. The child could not be without her mother and suffered greatly. The father saw this and wanted to bring his child happiness. The King of the Stars knew the only way to let his child see her mother was for them to leave their human form. He placed both of them in the sky as bears, the animal that was believed to be able to continue fighting after being wounded and could heal wounds. He placed them where his child could watch over her mother and be close to her. The King of the Stars watches them from Earth.
