2ND GRADE : ENGLISH : FISHING FOR THE MOON

Once upon a time , a lovely traveller came to a small lake.

 There he saw a crowd of people. Men and women, boys and 

 girls ,all had gathered near the lake . Everybody was greatly

 excited. Everyone had something in his or her hand - rakes,

 spades or ropes.

 "What is happening here ?" the traveller asked an old man.

 "The moon is drowning in the lake , and we are trying to save

 it," said the old man.

 The traveller stood there and watched the people trying to fish 

 the moon out of the lake. "Here it is ," shouted one tall man.

 "No, it is over here,"shouted a short fat woman.

 "Can't you see?" called a boy several feet away."The moon is

 over here."

 They were shouting from every direction. Soon there was a 

 terrible quarrel.

 Finally, a little girl pointing upward and said loudly,"Look,

 there is the moon up there."

 The traveller said to himself ,"How silly they are! and went on

 his way.
