FROM JAMES JEAN The celestial bear returns to the earth to feast upon the abundance below. As the bear indulges, the sky is stained red, and the rabbit sages rush to reason with the bear and urge restraint. “The hunters will soon return,” they plead. “You must ascend to the sky and conceal yourself below the horizon. Their arrows and spears will otherwise find you.” Belly full, the bear turns its gaze skyward. As the last rays of sunlight disappear, the bear rests among the stars.
