Orphan Boy

Once there lived a lonely old man who looked up the sky every night. One day, he realized that one star has gone. He became sorrow. Soon, he met a young man whose name is Kileken. Since he was an orphan and the old man was childless, they decided to be friends. Kileken did a lot of house chores to care of cattle. He did extremely well so the old man got surprised and wanted to know the secret. Yet the boy never told it. Although drought came and no grass to eat for cattle, Keileken made them fatter. So the old man ask him the secret but the boy replied "A secret known to two is no secret." The wall and shadow lured the man to find the secret by himself. One night, he followed the boy and saw him make the sunrise. The grass grew and the cattle ate them. Suddenly Kileken turned around and saw the old man. The grass was gone and drought came again. The old man became loonier and it was too late to regret. The orphan boy, Kileken became a star which was the planet Venus. It appeared at dawn in the east and at night fall in the west.
