It happened long ago. Six of the stars forming the constellation, the Pleiades once lived on the earth as damsels of Luwang community. They were intimate friends, inseparable from one another. One day they wanted to cook fish and have a feast together. They took permission from their parents and brothers go to a faraway lake to buy fish directly from fishermen with the hope of striking a god bargain. Their parents and brothers allowed them to go on the condition that they should return home before dusk.
Each carrying a bamboo basket, the six damsels started for the lake early in the morning and reached the lake before 'the sun reached the tips of bamboo and trees'. On the shore of the lake, they went from shack to shack built by fishermen to for weaving nets and keeping their catch. They were disappointed to find all the shacks empty. At last, in one of the shacks, they met six youths. The damsels soon struck acquaintance with the youths. Their young hearts melted; the damsels and the youths fell for each other.
