A well is a hole in the ground. There is water at the bottom. To get the water we turn a handle.
This lets a bucket down the well and into the water. Then we turn the handle to bring the bucket up.
One night a foolish man looked down a well. The water at the bottom was like a mirror.
The man saw the moon in the water. 'The moon has fallen down the well,' he said.
'I must get it out.'
He ran home to get a hook. He untied the bucket from the rope and tied the hook to the rope.
Then he turned the handle and let the hook go down into the well.
He wanted the hook to catch the moon and pull it up.
The hook reached the water and the man turned the handle to pull up the hook.
But the hook caught underneath a big stone. The man pulled and pulled but the handle would not move.
Suddenly the stone moved. The hook flew up the well. The man fell on to his back.
He could see the sky. The moon was in the sky. 'Good.' he said.
'I have put the moon back into the sky.'
