One day, late in the evening, Mulla was lifting a bucket from the well by the light of the moon and saw that the moon had fallen into the well. To pull out the moon, he tied a hook to a rope and lowered it down. By chance, the hook caught on a stone, and when the rope tightened, the hook broke, and Mulla fell on his back. He looked up and saw that the moon was in the sky.
“Well, thank God, I suffered a lot, but the moon has now returned to its place,” Nasreddin thought.
