さて宮古島には星にまつわるお話が語り継がれていますよ。どちらも天女の伝説です。

「天女のはなし」

むかし、天に6人の星の姉妹が住んでいました。ある日、姉妹は羽衣を着て地上に降り、 湖を見つけると、羽衣を脱いで水遊びをしていました。そこに通りかかった湖の主のミカルスは、木にかけてあった美しい羽衣を1枚持ち帰ってしまいます。湖では1番上の姉 オカアニが一人飛べずに泣いていました。ミカルスは何食わぬ顔で近づき「どうしたの」と聞くと、オカアニは「水浴びをしている間に、羽衣が無くなってしまい帰れなくない」と言います。
 オカアニは羽衣が見つかるまで、ミカルスの家で暮らすことになりました。それから何年か経って、二人は夫婦になっていました。ウミシイとウミナイという2人の男の子も産まれました。ある日屋根裏のかごの中に羽衣を見つけたオカアニは、息子2人を脇にかかえ飛ぼうとしたが、うまく飛べません。仕方なく1人で天に帰っていきました。天に戻ったものの子どものことが気がかりで、いつもひっそりと光っているということです。

「天の川の由来」

 

むかし、銘苅里之子(めかるさとのしい)いう大将がいました。 里之子は、庭に 池を造って鯉を飼い、自分もその池で水浴びをしたりしていました。
ある朝、池を眺めていると、どこからか美しい娘が来て水浴びをしていました。毎朝のように娘を見かけるようになりましたが、すぐにいなくなってしまいます。注意して見ていると、娘は、天から降りてくると、羽衣を池の傍樫の木の上に置いて水浴びをして、水浴びが終わると、天に飛び上がっていました。
 それを知った里之子は、娘が水浴びをしている間に羽衣を隠しました。 天に帰れず困っている娘に、里之子は見つかるまで自分の家で暮らすよう言いました。 里之子 は一緒に捜すふりをして、何日も引き止めているうちに、天女と夫婦になりました。

 

姉と弟の二人の子供にも恵まれました。ある日、姉の方が弟の子守りをしながら、「泣くなよ、弟、大きくなったら、母ちゃんの羽衣を着て、飛んで行く」と歌っています。これを聞いた天女が羽衣はどこにあるのかと娘に聞くと、 羽衣が出てきました。
天に戻った天女は 、 縄をおろして、夫子を天に呼び寄せました。 天女の父親である天太(太陽)の神は、 冬瓜を植えるように里之子に言います。言われたとおりにするとすぐに芽が生え、蔓が延びてきて里之子に巻きつきそうになりました。斧で蔓を切って戻ると、次は 冬瓜の実をを取ってくるように言われ、馬に積んで家に帰ってきました。次にの冬瓜を切りなさいと言いました。

 

里之子は、 冬瓜を横に倒して切ると、どっと汁が出てきて、それが天の川となり天女と里之子の間に流れました。それからは、この天の川で隔てられている里之子と天女とは、年に一日だけ、会うのが許されるようになったということです。
