"Ask me I wont say no, how could I?"   A long time ago, in Ethiopia there was this queen named Cassiopeia, who thought she was the most beautiful woman in the entire world. There wasn't anybody in the kingdom who wasn't offended by this woman's relentless vanity. And then one day, she really screwed up and offended the gods. I don't remember what she did and I don't remember who she offended. But it was bad. She crossed the line. But anyway, Poseidon, the sea god, punished Cassiopeia by placing her in the heavens upside down on her throne, stuck for eternity with her skirt around her shoulders and all the blood rushing to her head. And now she's just a constellation in the sky.

Molto tempo fa, in Etiopia regnava una regina chiamata Cassiopea, che credeva in assoluto di essere la donna più bella del mondo intero. Non c'era suddito che non fosse rimasto vittima delle sue sfrenate vanità. Ma un giorno esagerò e offese gli dei, non ricordo cosa fece o chi offese ma fu qualcosa di brutto, aveva passato il limite. Per quel gesto Poseidone, dio del mare, punì Cassiopea ponendola nella volta celeste ma a testa in giù sul trono, in eterno coperta dalle vesti ripiegate e dal pulsare del sangue in testa. Ed ora è solo una costellazione del cielo.
