0ne night, a foolish man was crossing the forest. He felt tired and thirsty. When he came upon a well, he thought he would quench his thirst. He bent down to pull out the water out.
He saw the reflection of the moon in the well and sighed, "The moon has fallen into the well. I must save it."
He quickly fetched a rope and a hook to pull up the moon. He tied the hook to the rope and then dropped it into the well.
Suddenly, the hook hit a heavy stone. Aha, I've got the moon, thought the foolish man.
The man pulled the rope very hard. But the stone would not budge.
Suddenly, the stone moved and the force made the man fall flat on his back.
He lay there unconscious for a while and when he regained his senses, the first thing he saw was the moon in the sky.
He said, "Thank God! I saved the moon."
