Saviour of the Moon

Many many times ago there was a wise and humorous man.His name was Nasiruddin Huzza.His life was full of humorous and funny tales.He was a man of great wisedom also.
How ever one night Nasiruddin was walking past a well and looked into it.The moon was reflected in the water of the well.
'Oh no!' thought Nasiruddin,'The moon is drowning.I must save it.' So he found out a long rope.He made a loop at one end and threw it into the water.'Hang on to this, Moon! And I will pull you out!' he shouted.The rope went and got caught on a jutting rock inside the well.As the loop tightened around it, Nasiruddin thought the moon was holding the rope.Nasiruddin started to walk backwards while pulling at the rope so that the moon could be pulled out.
After a few minutes of effort, the rope slipped off the rock and the Mullah fell over, flat on his back.Lying there, looking up, he saw the moon in the sky.It was full moon, round and radiant. "Well, I am so glad I saved you, Moon!" he said with joy.
