Once upon a time, a young boy went to the well to collect water at night. He saw the moonlit night and appreciated the beauty of the moon. Then, he bent down to collect the water using a vessel that was tied to the end of a long rope.

While he was bending, he saw the moon in the water in the well and he became very sad, as the useful moon had fallen in well. The boy decided to save the moon that had fallen in the well. He thought he would be able to scoop the moon out of the well by using the vessel with the long rope.

When the vessel was deep in the water, a very big stone went inside the vessel. The boy thought that the moon was already inside the vessel, and he started pulling.

However, the stone was very heavy and the rope broke, and the boy fell down and immediately fell asleep.

When he woke up, he saw the moon in the sky, and he was very happy, and said that he had not struggled for nothing.

The useful moon was already up in the sky, and kept on giving light to the people at night.
