A kind-hearted man, looking down into a well, saw the reflection of the moon in the water. "Oh! My God!
The moon has fallen into this well!", he exclaimed, and hurried to fetch a hook tied to a long rope.Quickly,
he let the hook fall deep into the well, holding fast to the rope. The hook fell into the deep water, and caught
a stone. Thinking that he had got the moon, the man pulled up the rope with such a force that it broke and
he fell sharply down, flat on his back, nearly unconscious. The first thing he saw was the Moon, shining
brightly in the sky. The man groaned in pain, but said," I broke my back, but thank God, the Moon is saved."
