'See' said Nyanniaw to Peibaw 'what a fine, widespread field I have.'
'Where is it?' asked Peibaw.
'There,' replied Nynniaw. 'The whole stretch of the sky, as far as he eye sees.'
’Look then,’ returned Peibaw, 'what a number of cattle I have grazing on your field.'
'Where are they?' asked Nynniaw.
'All the stars that you can see,' replied Peibaw, 'every one of them of fiery coloured gold, with the moon for a shepherd over them.'
'They shall not feed on my field,' cried Nynniaw.
'They shall,' claimed Peibaw.
'They shall not,' cried Nynniaw.
'They shall,' said Peibaw.
'They shall not,' Nynniaw answered, and so they went on, from contradiction to quarrel, and from private quarrel to civil war, until the armies of both of them were destroyed and the two authors of the evil were turned by God into oxen for their sins.

Disclaimer
This is my personal record of my astronomical observations. It was written for my personal reference. The only reason it is in a blog is that a blog is a very convenient way to get the records formatted more or less uniformly and they will, hopefully, have greater longevity at Google where the servers are backed up than on my hard drive which never gets backed up. I occasionally include copyrighted material in my posts. I do this to make it convenient for me to access things I think I might want to refer to again. I think of this like making a photocopy of something I read that I put in a file where I can find it when I want it. As I understand copyright law, as explained in the DVD series Copyright Compliance by Chip Taylor Communications, this use is allowed under the Fair Use doctrine since I am not making any money on this blog, I don’t publicize the blog, and only occasionally post small excerpts of copyrighted works.
