    SIRIUS AND TEAKNE

    Once in ancient Greece, there lived a young and fine sculptor named Sirius. He crafted images of men
    and beasts out of a teakwood. He fashioned his works with elegance and perfection which made him great and
    famous throughout the land. He was so faithful with his work that every creation he made was exceptionally
    fine.
    One day, he decided to carve a replica of a beautiful maiden. He spent many days and months working
    on it until one day, he felt a strange emotion of wanting to possess his work of art. He felt an intense feeling
    towards the figure that when he was away to gather teakwood in the forest, he rushed home to gaze the
    lifeless maiden as it was steadily standing, half-finished in his doorway. He devoted so much time finishing it
    until such time the sculpture was completed magnificently.

    Lo! and behold him was a very pleasing work of art. It looked as if it were alive. Hence, Sirius felt
    deeply in love with his masterpiece. Every night, he prayed to the goddess Aphrodite. Sirius mumbled, “O,
    goddess Aphrodite, hears my prayer. Grant that this image be transformed into a living soul so I can shower
    her the greatness of my devotion”. Every night, Sirius was so pious in offering his supplications to the goddess.
    Till one day, Aphrodite was moved with the earnestness of Sirius’ intentions and granted his desire.

    One great day, after his usual errand in the woods, upon returning home, he saw in his abode, a very
    fair and fine maiden strolling the room, walking to and fro. By then, Sirius knelt with overflowing joy and offered
    his thanksgiving to Aphrodite. He named the maiden, Teakne from a Teakwood tree, and the two lived with
    long lives, happiness and contentment.
