en!--yes, they shall
be my playmates, and I will kiss their slumber by the side of cool
lakes. The nation shall love me wherever I am."
These words having been said, she alighted on the waters, where she saw
herself reflected. The next morning thousands of white flowers were seen
on the surface of the lakes, and the Indians gave them this name,
_wah-be-gwan-nee_ (white flower).
This star lived in the southern skies. Her brethren can be seen far off
in the cold north, hunting the Great Bear, whilst her sisters watch her
in the east and west.
Children! when you see the lily on the waters, take it in your hands and
hold it to the skies, that it may be happy on earth, as its two sisters,
the morning and evening stars, are happy in heaven.
