牛    郎    织    女    二   

 从    此    牛    郎    在    地    里    耕    种   , 织    女    在    家    里    纺    织   。 有    时    候   , 织    女    也    帮    助    牛    郎    干    些    地    里    的    活   。 两    个    人    勤    劳    节    俭   , 日    子    过    得    挺    美    满   。 转    眼    间    两    三    个    年    头    过    去    了   , 他    们    生    了    一    个    男    孩    和    一    个    女    孩   。 到    孩    子    能    说    话    的    时    候   , 晚    上    得    空   , 织    女    就    指    着    星    星   , 给    孩    子    们    讲    些    天    上    的    故    事   。 天    上    虽    然    富    丽    堂    皇   , 可    是    没    有    自    由   , 她    不    喜    欢   。 她    喜    欢    人    间    的    生    活   : 跟    牛    郎    一    块    儿    干    活   , 她    喜    欢   ; 逗    着    兄    妹    俩    玩   , 她    喜    欢   ; 看    门    前    小    溪    的    水    活    泼    地    流    过    去   , 她    喜    欢   ; 听    晓    风    晚    风    轻    轻    地    吹    过    树    林   , 她    喜    欢   。 两    个    孩    子    听    她    这    么    说   , 就    偎    在    她    怀    里   , 叫    一    声    娘   , 回    过    头    来    又    叫    一    声    爹   。 她    乐    极    了   , 可    是    有    时    候    也    发    愁   。 愁    什    么    呢   ? 她    没    告    诉    牛    郎   。 她    是    怕    外    祖    母    知    道    她    在    这    儿    会    来    找    她   
 一    天   , 牛    郎    去    喂    牛   , 那    头    衰    老    的    牛    又    说    话    了   , 眼    眶    里    满    是    眼    泪   : 我    快    不    行    了   , 不    能    帮    你    们    下    地    干    活    了   …… 我    死    以    后   , 你    把    我    的    皮    留    着   。 碰    见    什    么    紧    急    事   , 你    就    披    上    我    的    皮   …… 老    牛    没    说    完    就    死    了   。 夫    妻    两    个    痛    哭    了    一    场   , 留    下    老    牛    的    皮   , 把    老    牛    的    尸    骨    埋    在    草    房    后    边    的    山    坡    上   
 再    说    天    上   , 仙    女    们    溜    到    人     间    的    事    到    底    让    王    母    娘    娘    知    道     了   。 王    母    娘    娘    罚    她    们   , 把    她    们   
 不    正    是    紧    急    事    吗   ? 他    赶    紧    披    上    牛    皮   , 找    出    两    个    筐   , 一    个    筐    里    放    一    个    孩    子   , 挑    起    来    就    往    外    跑   。 一    出    屋    门   , 他    就    飞    起    来    了   , 耳    边    的    风    呼    呼    直    响   。 飞    了    一    会    儿   , 望    见    妻    子    和    老    太    婆    了   , 他    就    喊    我    来    了   , 两    个    孩    子    也    连    声    喊    娘   。 越    飞    越    近   , 眼    看    要    赶    上    了   , 王    母    娘    娘    拔    下    头    上    的    玉    簪    往    背    后    一    划   , 糟    了   , 牛    郎    的    前    边    忽    然    出    现    一    条    天    河   。 天    河    很    宽   , 波    浪    很    大   , 牛    郎    飞    不    过    去    了   
 从    此    以    后   , 牛    郎    在    天    河    的    这    边   , 织    女    在    天    河    的    那    边   , 只    能    远    远    地    望    着   , 不    能    生    活    在    一    块    儿    了   。 他    们    就    成    了    天    河    两    边    的    牵    牛    星    和    织    女    星   
 织    女    受    了    很    厉    害    的    惩    罚   , 可    是    不    肯    死    心   , 一    定    要    跟    牛    郎    一    块    儿    过    日    子   。 日    久    天    长   , 王    母    娘    娘    也    拗    不    过    她   , 就    允    许    她    每    年    农    历    七    月    初    七    跟    牛    郎    会    一    次    面   
 每    年    的    这    一    天   , 成    群    的    喜    鹊    在    天    河    上    边    搭    起    一    座    桥   , 让    牛    郎   、 织    女    在    桥    上    会    面   。 就    因    为    这    件    事   , 每    逢    那    一    天   , 人    们    很    少    看    见    喜    鹊   , 它    们    都    往    天    河    那    儿    搭    桥    去    了   。 还    有    人    说   , 那    一    天    夜    里   , 要    是    在    葡    萄    架    下    边    静    静    地    听    着   , 还    可    以    听    见    牛    郎   、 织    女    在    桥    上    亲    亲    密    密    地    说    话    呢
