Sand Between My Toes

Natha nodded. "Yes, the north start should be visible any time of year. What you want to do first is look for the big bear. It's a collection of seven brighter stars." She glanced around trying to figure out how best to explain what Tamsyn should look for. She used one of her paws to clear a flat space on the sand in front of her then using one of her toes she drew the constellation of the big bear. "It'll look like this, you can sort of see the base there." She pointed, hoping to give enough of a frame of reference for Tamsyn to orient herself. "Do you see it? The four stars for the base of the body and the three coming off it is supposed to be a tail. Don't ask me who decided it was a bear. I've never seen a bear with such a long tail!"
