Orion's Sword and Belt are the Berai-Berai the boys who best of all loved the Meamei, for whom they used to hunt, bringing their offerings to them; but the ice-maidens were obdurate and cold, disdaining lovers, as might be expected from their parentage. Their father was a rocky mountain, their mother an icy mountain stream.
The two ice-maidens were miserable on earth with him, and eventually escaped by the aid of one of their 'multiplex totems, the pine-tree. Wurrunnah had told them to get him pine bark. Now the Meamei Pleiades belong to the Beewee totem, so does the pine-tree.
The Pleiades are seven sisters, as usual, the dimmed ones having been dulled because on earth Wurrunnah seized them and tried to melt the crystal off them at a fire; for, beautiful as they were with their long hair, they were ice-maidens. But he was unsuccessful beyond dulling their brightness, for the ice as it melted put out the fire.
