Nasr Eddin Hodja called to his wife /:
"Hanuml Hanuml Come and see;
the moon has fallen into the well !"
She ran, and, looking into, the well.
sure enough, she saw the moon noat-
ing on the water.
"what shall we do" he asked, ito
get II out?"
1t was a sad thing to lose the moon
down the we'll. She rubbed her head to
think better, and finally said:

and you can pull 1t out"
This she did: and the nodja let the
rope down into the water and pulled.
The hook. catching OF a stone, would
not come up easily, and so he pulled.

Suddenly the stone gave way and
the hodja fell backward to the ground.
AS he looked up to the sky, he saw the
moon in the heavens.
"Hanum Hanum !" he cried. II have

She, looking up, agreed with him.
