SIRIUS AND CANOPUS.

My (step)grandmother, Ttuai-ang, was the one who used to rejoice about Canopus. She said--

Sirius!
Sirius!
Winks like
Canopus!

Canopus
Winks like
Sirius!

Sirius
Winks like
Canopus!

While my grandmother felt that food was abundant.[1]

[1. We are wont to say !Xu, when food is abundant.]
