The story of Tahina Ca

A long time ago, the people Caraj mountains of Brazil didnt know how to
plant crops or take care of farm animals. They went hunting and fishing. Life
was hard, and they were often hungry.
Imahero and Daneke were sisters. They live in the village with their father.
One night, Imahero saw a beautiful star in the sky. She asked her father
about the star. That is the brightest and the most beautiful star. It is called
Tahina Ca, he explained.
I want that star, said Imahero. Then wish for it with all your heart, said
her father.
Imahero wished and wished for the star with all her heart. One day, she
Heard a voice in the house. I am Tahina Ca, said the voice. Do you want
to marry me?
Imahero looked and looked, but all she saw was a very old man with long,
white hair. Imahero shouted at the old man, I dont want to marry you. You
are too old and too ugly. Go away
Tahina - Ca started to cry. Denake felt very sorry for the poor, old man, and
she said, Please dont cry! I want to marry you. The old man was very
happy. So Tahina Ca and Denake got married.

The next day, Tahina Ca said, Im going into the forest to plant some
crops. Denake was very worried. Tahina Ca was an old man, and Daneke
knew he was weak. Let me come and help you, she said.
No. You stay here and wait for me, said Tahina Ca.

It was very late in the afternoon, and Tahina-Ca was still in the forest.
Denake was really worried. She decided to go into the forest and find her
husband. She arrived at a clearing in the forest. There were some small
plants in Little rows. She didnt find her husband, but she saw a strong,
Young, handsome man. She said, Excuse me. I cant find my husband. His

old man. Imahero was very angry. I wished for you with all my heart, so you
are really my husband, she said. No, replied Tahina-Ca. You didnt love
me when I was an old man. You are proud and vain. I love Denake. She is my
wife.
