There are any number of versions
OF moon occupants. And every so oft
en- a 'hoax' is sprung on the
people. the sentiment In the average
makeup d~elighting in foolish myster-
les about the fair planet. Another
reason for the man being in the moon
is that he stole wood on Sunday. He
was allowed to moose between the
sun and the moon as his future abode.
Choosing the moon he was provided
a fagot set on fire to keep him from
freezing to death. Another tale is
that a poor oma knocked at the
door of a rich man and begged for
food for her child. He refused, where
at she wished that he would be con-
signed to the coolest place in exist
ence. He was banIshed to the moon.

To sway emotions at his will.

His heart with avarice was cold.

OF an Illusion that has passed.

And when they fade 1 smile.
