Hideaway Strath Take a sad song and make it better

A great question. "I'm sure I didn't figure it out myself," Rue admitted with a shake of her head. She didn't spend enough time watching the sky to deduce something like that.

After some thought, she added, "I suppose it's because someone started pointing out star constellations to me. They're groups of stars that some people think form pictures." Rue lifted a paw. "Those four bright stars in that square shape? That's supposed to be part of a bear. The three stars trailing out that way are supposed to be its tail." It was weird that the bear's tail was longer than its body, but hey-- Rue wasn't the one who made this stuff up.

"Even though the pictures up there twist and turn, you can always find them somewhere in the sky, as long as they haven't sunk below the horizon." Rue pulled her gaze from the sky and smiled at Effie.
