The story of the Double Seventh Festival in China(the 2nd part)
But good things don’t last long, the Queen mother became very angry when she knew that Vega stayed in the man’s world and fell in love with Altair once again. She went to Altair’s house and took Vega back to the heaven. When Altair went back home in the evening, he found that his wife was gone. The old cattle told Altair that the Queen mother had took Vega back to the heaven. If he want to meet her, he could made a shoe with its skin when it died. The shoe could took him to the heaven to meet Vega.
Before long, the old cattle died. Though Altair was very sad, he used its skin to make a pair of shoes. Wearing the shoes, he brought his children flied to the heaven swiftly. When he reach the heaven, Vega saw him instantly. When Vega ran to hug her lover, the Queen mother pull out the hair clasp from her hair, and conjure a river between Vega and Altair. They watched each other sadly. Suddenly, a a flock of magpie flied over the river and turned into a magpie bridge. At last, Vega and Altair walk through the magpie bridge and hug together.
The Queen mother was moved by the love between Vega and Altair, so she permitted that they can meet each other on July seventh on lunar calendar each year.
